I've seen applications that needed to store 100,000 XML documents and retrieve them by a simple key value. That's too many to handle comfortably in filestore, and good-old-ISAM files don't seem to be available in the things that pass for operating systems these days, so an RDBMS, while grossly over-engineered for the job, is probably the right answer.
