RE: XML versus Relational Database

["Bullard, Claude L (Len)" <clbullar@ingr.com>]

You may awaken the WhyGrovesAreNeeded 
thread. :-)  

Let me ask this:  is the infoSet adequate 
for defining the features all XML systems must 
support, then what else is necessary to to 
define an "XML database" so we can 
figure out what the range of "decent" is?

Would anyone care to itemize the features they consider essential in a
"decent" XML database?  I have my own, but I am hopelessly biased...
