Rusty et al,
I had a great time at the XML database talk, it was very informative. I
have a few comments, questions, and suggestions.
First, I think after seeing the talk that I would have liked in the
beginning to get a more complete description of the problem domain that
XML databases are trying to solve. Specific examples here would be very
productive. We know that publishing looms large here, what are some
specific issues? This would have made the code example more meaningful
to me.
Second, there were ideas that came out during Q & A that might be
expanded on to good purpose. Things that we might not know or take for
granted, like the philosophy regarding types and structures. The
audience seemed to be focusing on the need for structure, while the tool
did not seem to want to do that. A couple of slides outlined the
philosophy of types and structures might have been useful here.
Finally, I would have liked to hear more of Rusty's ideas about the
relationship between the file system, the web server, and the database.
Rusty, do you want to expand on that here?
