So what are subcollections good for? I don't understand this simple argumentation. Because Xindice doesn't provide searching in subcollections the concept of subcollections is useless? I can't believe this! Xindice as well as other XML databases only need to provide the proper API. This may have effects on XML:DB API but it doesn't challenge hte concept of subcollections. Just my 0.02$.
