Btw, I already mentioned this to Arnold but another options is DB2 Express-C (http://www-306.ibm.com/software/data/db2/express/) which has XML support and is free (with few enough limitations to make it suitable for a large variety of apps). ext/db2 supports it. There are some good links here: http://tinyurl.com/35643d
For people who have to deal with large sets of XML (coming in through web services or other sources) looking at XML DBs like SleepyCat, DB2 and others is probably a good idea. They don't/shouldn't replace RDBMS but be complementary.
