I'm sorry, but that's how I feel, for most uses. You spend years and years
learning how to build normalized databases, and then throw all that away for
convenience! There are reasons that relational databases work the way they
do - speed and efficiency. How do you search something like that? You have
to retrieve all the rows and look in each WDDX packet for the appropriate
value. That's not very efficient. In general, it doesn't scale well either.

Now, I can see the appeal for this idea, but in most applications, it's
going to make things harder, not easier, in the long run.
