Should this idea even be taken into consideration ? I mean ... to compare a database query to XPath ? Using a database would surely give you more speed, but would using XML make you a pioneer web development techniques ? Well ... no, it would not.
I've been reading a lot of forum threads about how XML "is compatible with everything", and how it "makes it easier to reuse the data without any migration problems", and how, in some cases it would be preferable to use XML instead of a database, to store a small amount of information. That's just silly. You could, indeed use XML to implement some RPC on a different server, or export a somewhat portable version of a database table, but you should not use XML as a replacement for a database system.
