Like many of our "tools vendors" you've forgotten about (or chosen not to support) links. My worry about non-OO technologies is that I wonder how they support links (and queries on links) and RDF (and queries on RDF models) and topic maps (and queries on topic relationships). I suppose you could represent all of these as relations in a relational database. I just hope that these "other groups" are planning to deal with these issues instead of pretending that XML documents don't have links (which is what most current vendors do).
