XML is a great "transfer syntax" when moving data from program to program
or system to system. That doesn't mean all the data has to be expressed in
XML all the time.
I'd suggest that you consider using a traditional database to do your
query, and use XSLT only to style the results. Xalan's database extension
package provides one way to do that directly, or you could use a standard
database with a wrapper/utility that formats query results as XML (such as
IBM's XML Extender for its DB2 product) and then run that through a
stylesheet.
