4. TRANSACTION
This is needed too. I don't know how JTA might help here, I have no idea of the API and never worked with it. Any expert around? We would need to know not only if JTA would make the job, but also if, performance wise, it will suffice without imposing severe penalties to the system.

I know there is a new JSR being planned to introduce a common Querying API for Java XML Native databases. Whether this will overlap with xml:db or not, I'm not sure.

OK, this was the first stone in the lake: I hope to sparkle some discussion on it and, once we manage to agree on what we want from 2.0, to start writing docs and code. I'm now borrowing the world-famous absbestos underwear from Stefano & Sam and I'm eagerly waiting for your replies.
That underwear must smell yucky by now ;-)
