Sorry Steve, I can't agree with you.
For me one of reasons for databases to exist is:
1. Persistent storage
2. Ability to work with data (tables/documents/whatever) that can't fit in RAM.

I don't want only ability to store whole DOM tree in the Ozone and retrieve it
again.  I want to query and update this document when it resides in Ozone, and
this query will return only specific Nodes of the DOM, not _all_ the DOM tree.

Any comments ?

Here is (maybe a little off-topic) new SUN's Java-XML Data Binding Proposal:

http://java.sun.com/aboutJava/communityprocess/jsr/jsr_031_xmld.html

it's might be very useful for XML and OODBMS integration.

Thanks for interesting discussion :)
