Long running transactions that hydrate and dehydrate are a
form of archival and they can use XML. Normally, I suspect
the lifecycles are short enough to trust XML. Auditing
is now a big deal where government agency access to public
and private records requires oversight to protect civil
liberties. Given the emphasis on access to health records,
that's notable.
Designing for the short-term often wins. Failing to
imagine the long term sometimes negates the win.
A failure of imagination can be an unusually
large negative to a self-replicating solution.

I suppose so, personally, I don't expect archives to give me much in the
way of dynamic capabilities or currency. Having said that, I am not a
big believer in using XML as an archive format except for audit
purposes.
