Architecting a solution to use both XML and JSON (or any other type)
is easy if you a) store canonical data in uninterpreted binary form
and b) allow plugable data-type dependent indexing.
I think CouchDB has shown the way to a more generalized solution in
this space.

CouchDB as an XML database? Bah...
If you're going xml why use Couch? XML already has XQuery
standardized and there are a number of XML database implementations
already in existence.
At work I'm using Sedna since we just couldn't handle our
hierarchical structure inside of CouchDB.

Next you will be saying that it would be better for CouchDB to use
XML
instead of JSON :-)
Oh wow that'd be awesome! ;-)
