SOAP is one thing. But what about storing XML documents in the DB
(with validation on the way in) and querying them using XPath? Oracle
does that. MySQL does not.
And off-topic from the original question but to repeat myself from before, using XML and MySQL together isn't that difficult in most situations you may encounter. A little wrapping to be sure, but validating parsers are easy to get your hands on and designing an expat-based parser that knows your schema (XML & DB) for translation isn't a big chore for most data types I've come across.
