Please don't stop there! Like many of our "tools vendors" you've forgotten
about (or chosen not to support) links. My worry about non-OO technologies
is that I wonder how they support links (and queries on links) and RDF
(and queries on RDF models) and topic maps (and queries on topic
relationships). I suppose you could represent all of these as relations in
a relational database. I just hope that these "other groups" are planning
to deal with these issues instead of pretending that XML documents don't
have links (which is what most current vendors do).
