It just doesn't make sense to me to take an object (a "document"),
create an XML representation of that object, and then store the
representation in the repository as a single node (or node property).
If you have:
> <document>
> <name>
> <firstName>Bob</firstName>
> <lastName>Smith</lastname>
> </name>
> </document>
and currently you're storing the document as /documents/doc1, then
/documents/doc1/n...@firstname = Bob
/documents/doc1/n...@lastname = Smith
i.e. doc1 has a child node called name which has attributes named
firstName and lastName.
If you store XML in the repository and then want to access the values
inside that document in a script, you'll need to parse the document into
a DOM of some sort.
