Colorful XML: One Hierarchy Isn't Enough

Summary: Colorful XML introduces multicolored trees (MCT) to let nodes participate in multiple hierarchies, addressing the depth–normalization tension in XML. It extends XQuery to navigate colors, enables colored-tree restructurings, and demonstrates succinct, efficient MCT queries/updates with a Timber prototype and XML serialization.
