yes. But my intention is to create an xml database, and reiserfs seems to
be a suitable platform. And it's a fact that people are using xml files.
Since the page layout is optimized for xml, I hope that it will be faster
than reiserfs directories and files. If that turns out to be wrong I will
trash my implementation and make an import utility for reiserfs instead.

If this turn out to be faster and still sopports all the queries I want,
thats approprate. I was planning on proving a diretory view of the xml
file instead.

now I have. It basically says you don't need XML at all in a proposed
perfect world. Well, would this mailing list exist then?

I only need a SAX parser.
