I am simply saying that server extensions or "stored procedure" type customizations are somewhat still available. Whether or not your project can benefit from this, I'm not sure. As far as "including" parts of the xml from relational data, I'm not convinced that it will work the way you intend it to. When I have something ready for use with the system I am working on, I will post to the list.
