Thinking about XML, it occurred to me that representing MK models in
XML might not be best -- it almost makes sense to put the models in
the form of DTDs (though I don't know how explicit a DTD can be about
details like ints/floats/dates/etc).

Anyway, I was thinking about how a set of XML records is just like a
(potentially complicated) relational database, and that the database
description really maps to the XML description, which is a DTD.

Now, moving between those two worlds (RDBMS and XML record)
seemlessly... now *that* would be cool.  hOpla seems to do something
like this... http://hopla.sourceforge.net/en/ ... poorly documented,
having a problem learning about it.  4suite has something too, DbDOM.

Both seem to rely on Postgresql, not MySQL.

Anyway, food for thought.
