Meta-data Indexing for XPath Location Steps

Summary: Introduces meta-data indexes to filter XML elements along XPath steps by ordered-domain constraints (quality, recency, security). Uses multi-dimensional index structures (e.g., R-tree) with new query/update algorithms to locate elements along an XPath axis that satisfy meta-data ranges.
