Pepole will want the shell to go into FileSystem XML files, list the

put in a powerful ls command.

Which people, other than you, actually want that?  Do you have real
or potential users who desire that feature?

Windows can easily mount an ISO image file as a filesystem.
File Explorer can dive into a .zip file (by unpacking it into a
temporary directory).  Linux has sshfs and other tools that use
libfuse, a userspace filesystem framework.  Squashfs is a common way
to treat a single file as a filesystem.  There are other examples.
And they all give the user access to all the system tools available
for working with files and directories; none are restricted to
whatever facilities are provided by BabyX or some similar project.

If you're doing this just for the fun of it, that's great --
but you seem to be saying not just that others will find your XML
pseudo-filesystem useful, but that there's an existing demand for it.
I'm skeptical.
