Btw, I already mentioned this to Arnold but another options is DB2
Express-C (http://www-306.ibm.com/software/data/db2/express/) which has
XML support and is free (with few enough limitations to make it suitable
for a large variety of apps). ext/db2 supports it.
There are some good links here: http://tinyurl.com/35643d

For people who have to deal with large sets of XML (coming in through
web services or other sources) looking at XML DBs like SleepyCat, DB2
and others is probably a good idea. They don't/shouldn't replace RDBMS
but be complementary.
