RE:  [ANN] "Future of Software and Databases" NetSeminar (Decem
You are deliberately being obtuse. If there is no need for you to store XML in your business processes then you do not have to. On the other hand there are many who primarily have data stored or treated as XML for whom utilizing a database that understands XML is the right decision. 
 
PS: Where in the W3C XML 1.0 recommendation is there terminology that limits it to being an "interchange" format.

	If XML is an "interchange" format - then why am I storing it?  Why
	don't I convert it to my format (which I designed because it is
	convenient where the XML "interchange" format is not).  Does this even
	make sense?  I don't think it does.
