Thanks for this, David. It seems very helpful and to the point. Only two
comments:
* After reading this note, I feel I have a good idea of the pros and
cons of the two formats. One thing I'd like see added" is a choice of
XML or SQL irrevocable, or can the database be converted from one format
to another later, after we have entered many transactions? It _sounds_
like a conversion is as simple as a File » Save As; is that accurate?
* I don't agree with the person who called the second sentence ("The
default file storage format is XML, while a number of flavors of SQL
storage are available.") redundant. I saw that sentence as introducing a
topic, which you then expanded. I've found that readers understand
better with a short introduction and then a more detailed treatment,
just as you have written.
