I am still waiting for some documentation on what XML support we have,

for years now. Clearly, we need to sort out what that really means.
Agreed. We need a road map of some sort.
I'm preparing a session about that for the Toronto summit.
I'll prepare some classification of differend kinds of XML support,
including a brief overview for oracle, sql server and db2 (I'm a
person who works on that SoC project)
As for Pavel's patch, I think it's pretty complete piece of several
SQL/XML functions and could be usefull for people (e.g
Do we want this XML patch in the backend? It needs syntax support so I
don't see how it could be done in /contrib. Attached.

[ shrug ] There is a *boatload* of new stuff in SQL2003, most of which
we probably won't ever implement. The foundation alone has enough new

Well, we have been pushing XML out of the database into side projects,
which I think is the way to go until we have an XML-standard export

Could you point to a reference for them so they can be filled in?
