Hi Richard,
For various reasons, we choose not to use MC on the server. The big one being it's unusual high use of resources per connection. Though Pierre has a nice workaround for it using Perl (or is it PHP?), we pretty much standarize on either MySQL or MS SQLserver.
I ran into this problem with Item Wizard launch/config files in our Hemingway Content Management System. Originally I had authored them as small read-only stacks, but then found I couldn't create them dynamically from the server w/out installing the MC engine, which we didn't want to do. I ended up re-authoring them in XML.
So, now, I think carefully about whether or not the file can be created in XML, and if so, I tend to use it instead of stacks. BTW, I think I remember Geoff Canyon ahwile ago created a STACK->XML->STACK utility. Pretty cool, but I couldn't figure out what I'd do with it, now I know!
best,
Chipp

And, because stacks are difficult to create (on the fly) from a server, I generally only use them if I have to store some sort of binary data (logo) with pref files.
What sorts of issues have you found?
