Surely it's not in my personal top list. I think that XML databases are closer to the LDAP model than to RDBMS: most of the time the operations are pure reads, not writes. Yet, if it doesn't cost too much, it might be worth considering.
I find that statement curious. The ratio of reads to writes doesn't really have
any bearing on the need for transactions.... If your user wants their data to
be durable they need a transacted store.
