access relational tables
     While I agree that concurrent access would be painful to implement, I
     don't feel that editing particular records, per se, in a XML doc would
     be all that difficult.

     If not this, what else is a random access file for?

     From a purely procedural point of view, I would guess that you'd have
     to:

     1) Make the changes to the text of the particular record you're
     working on

     2) Go back to the source XML doc and find that particular line

     3) Replace the text in that one particular line

     4) Badda-bing!  Save it, and you're done.

     Am I being hopelessly naive about this?

You're right, you would have to parse the file to some sort of tree
structure and edit the nodes of the tree. Then it can be parsed back to
XML.
