Most assuredly so!  To be clear, my orientation is towards the data side
of XML and not the document side.  The issues seem much less clear and
much more complex when dealing with documents...  (To be precise I
suppose I should delinitate this as highly structured vs. less
structured, but that's another permathread.)
