I don't claim to be an expert, but my understanding was that the goal of a data warehouse was to make a repository of information that could be plumbed through essentially relational queries -- demographic information, correlations between dates and so forth. I don't see the benefit of including document data in this sort of repository. As someone else mentioned, XML may well be a good transfer format for the information to move it FROM the regular databases into the data warehouse.
