If I understand the thinking correctly, it is that a database would be represented by a virtual document containing a list of the instance documents, identified by URL; and then yes, you should be able to search this entire collection. Of course XSLT has that capability too (in theory): the real challenge is designing optimizers that can take advantage of persistent indexes, etc. Mike Kay XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
