I refer to you Dean Swift and his description of the dilemma of the
Lilliputians, whether to break open an egg at the big or little end. It
might help.

Simply because I mentioned capabilities of a library to serialize data
in xml format does *NOT* in a any way mean that I propose to use this
capability for storing data in sqlite blobs (and that would be bizzare,
as you said ;). It was mentioned just because it showed you visual
results of serializing a simple structure. I could as well copy-past 8
bytes, result of using binary archive, but that wouldn't be too
descriptive.
