I dont like and idea of the relying on pre-production quality implementations and then debugging my code for specific one. It breaks the abstraction. It more nice to have high level XPath paring/mapping engine without dependence on actual implemenation. When all Db engines supported by Rose::DB will be supporting XML datatype with the same level of support then it would be irrelevant but for general case having XPath -> SQL translation looks more attractive. --Maxim
