John,
thank you for your answer, you make a good point;
however my perception is that the XML native database arena is so young that it's difficult to tell which standard is proprietary and which not. Xml:db, it seems to me, is not endorsed by any major standard institute, nor by any big IT company, and has Kimbro Staken, one of the main XIndice developers, in its management commitee. Tamino, on the other side is perceived as the de-facto standard, at least among my customers.
(I must stress that I prefer XIndice too, but I have to convince my customers!)

Ciao Francesco,
For me, one of the biggest things in favour of Xindice is support for the xmldb interfaces and xupdate, which Tamino doesn't seem to have (and doesn't seem to have any intention of supporting, as far as I can see. Pushing proprietary standards instead?).
