I liked this item: Does XML have a place on servers? XML is designed to be a repository format for long-lived, high-value documents. XML doesn't just let you define tags, it allows you to define how a document's storage is structured. An HTML document has to live in one file, but an XML document can be made up of multiple files(called entities) stored in different places. This suggests the notion of an XML server acting as a document repository. The point and leverage of object orientation is to be able to assemble entities of different object or file type. If you have an efficient storage engine like EXLN's Objectstore and an XML wrapper, a complex entity can be managed. Net object assembly tends to be complex in type. They have to be interpreted in many diverse platforms. They have to be variable across wide domains. Static page storage containing the combinatorial possibilities is no longer practical, because users demand expressive power, and they don't want to wait.
