+1 !
One other good reason (IMHO) to study OODBMS is that there seems to be
two kinds of "containers" which are a natural fit as a starting point
for a XML Database, the first is a hierarchical database (to store XML
documents as trees) and the second is a OODBMS (to store XML as an
object oriented structure which is eventually but not necessarly DOMs).
This seems to be one of the reasons why several players in the OODBMS
arena are coming on the market with XML databases...
