True, but I'm already administering a MySQL DB for these guys (although
Postgresql would be much better/cooler even if we if we don't need the

That's been my experience as well, but I've seen some amazing things
done with it.  IME, XML is good for data transfers, but I've seen
programs (like Japple) change their behavior based on the XML; that
looks RFC but I don't get what it is they're doing.
