Yes, I want to second that and congratulate Elliotte on a very well
put-together demonstration.

I believe the slides can be found here:
http://www.cafeconleche.org/slides/nyphp/xquery/01.html

I work in the medical industry, and I've seen a lot of
not-so-rectangular data stuffed into rectangular holes (see the NYPHP
thread on "Flexible Forms" back in May, for example) and XML seems as
if it would provide a nice alternative.

The only thing that makes me hesitate is the relative infancy of the
open source DB's available. I would have to be convinced that they are
stable, long-term solutions, and so far I'm not seeing that. Some of
the hybrid solutions out there, however, look quite viable.

Again, thanks for the talk, Elliotte.
