  It seems that native XML databases are doing good at searching data
stored in XML formats.

  But that seems to be more a matter of performance than of programming
logic: if one has an API where XML searches can be specified, it really
doesn't matter how it is implemented.

  Any way, native XML databases would be my first choice, at least at
the moment :-)
