With respect, I doubt that this is what anybody in the XML world advocates, at least not the people with real experience building systems. >Various math proofs point this out, from both the Relational Model (dbms, >RDBMS) side and from the Heiarchichal Data Model (XML) side. With respect, you have been referring in general to math proofs throughout this thread - perhaps it is time that you refer to a specific math proof, tell us what it showed, and what ramifications it has for us?
