Another point is that if you are using XML only to publish data then a stream
processing can be used and the DOM need only to be stored in memory. I think
COCOON is an example for that. In other cases the XML is not only used for
publishing but it represents the actual content of the application. I think of
documentation and information systems. So far it seems that an query language is
needed for the second case only. (?)

In the near future we are going to start such a web based information system. It
will contain a lot of "text" documents - project descriptions, press releases
whatever. We need not only to publish them but also to search, modify, build new
documents of parts of other documents... Why not storing the XML as DOM instead
of parsing the XML every time I need the DOM?
