besides schema support I'd very much like an enhanced error handling
API, as we already discussed earlier...

I'm working on a document centered architecture for a CAS company
(Computer Assisted Surgery): http://www.orthosoft.ca, where all data
processing is organized around the concept of a 'patient record'.
That includes configuration data, persistent storage, and all kind of
other jazz. I'm using both, an SAX and a DOM based API for this.

It's working wonderfully thus far. Thanks for all your work !
