Re: temporaryXUpdateTree elements appearing

[William Billingsley]

Sorry to ply you with questions -  I'm a little new to the XML database 
area.

So is XUpdate dead as a standard, or is just that particular codebase 
not getting updated?  If it's dead as a standard, has anything 
particular replaced it, or just proprietary database-implementation 
specific solutions?

Actually, generally I've noticed the three main open source XML 
databases (Xindice, dbXML, eXist) all seem to have only one developer 
each.  I'm finding this a bit bizarre - in this era of web services and 
everybody seeming to build on XML in one way or another, I was a bit 
surprised to find so little momentum behind any of them.  What are 
people actually using, or are they just avoiding XML in the database?

(apologies for the break in the thread - my prev email accidentally went 
off list and only to Todd)
