What benefit would XML give you? Cabrillo already delineates the field 
data in a simple format that doesn't require the overhead of an XML 
parser. Are you planning to store XML in the SQL database? If you are, 
can you explain how you plan to do this? To create searchable fields 
you're just going to have to parse the XML back into the original data 
fields anyway, so what's the point?

I confess I'm confused about what you're trying to accomplish. Can you 
elaborate?
