The nice thing about XMLTABLE is that it adds xquery support. I think the

not sure if our licensing is compatible, but it I would love the irony of
using Berkeley DB XML (formerly Sleepycat) now that its owned by Oracle.
It's very much not compatible. Berkeley DB is not free for commercial
use. I anticipate that this would be a problem both for commericial
users of PostgreSQL and also for commercial PostgreSQL forks.
Besides, that's a lot of code to suck into Postgres to do, uh, a lot
of things that we already do in other ways.
XQuilla, however, is not Berkely DB. And its license is Apache v2. It is
built on Xerces-C, although it appears at first glance to have less
dependencies that Zorba. I'm not sure how pluggable the XML parser
engine is (or could be made).
