Relational databases didn't take the world by storm overnight. XML databases won't either. But they will be adopted because they do let people solve problems they have today that they cannot solve with any other tools.
My problem is that I don't get paid 500k/year for working 10 hours a week with full benefits and 8 weeks paid vacation. Now, show me how to fix that with XML databases and dinner is on me, twice even. ;)
The best thing about XML is that it is really is just a flat file and everything in it has a beginning and an end. I cannot think of anything that one would want to store in XML that cannot be stored in a db and that also cannot be stored in a text file with way less overhead. Examples are welcome.
