We never have, and probably never will use that, so it's not relevant
IMO.

We're going to use SQL in the medium run.

XML solves our current problems, and with compression, doesn't
introduce any new ones, other than speed, which I think we can address
adequately for the hopefully short period of time before we get SQL
working, so I don't see the point in worrying about anything else...
