things to be aware of with Monet;

* UPDATE: I think that XUPDATE mechanism or extensions to XQUERY for 
performing updates is non existent....with SOAP in a usable state (but I 
dont use SOAP...XML-RPC is enough for me)

* XQUERY: XQuery support is partial, would be nice to know what % of 
XQUERY Test Suite passes in Monet DB, check here 
http://monetdb.cwi.nl/XQuery/Documentation/Language/XQuery/

I reviewed Monet a while back and found it an excellent piece of 
software, especially for those who are more RDBMS minded.

If you do evaluate or end up using, pls post back with your exp!
