Some years ago I had an occasion to look into XML databases. At that time I
fashioned up some stuff with Berkeley DB. It was a good bit of work and after
some time I simply lost interest. Recently I have been thinking again about
XML databases in connection with a sort of CMS system that I'm envisioning.
This post prompted me to have a look about and I came across eXist-db. I've 
installed it had a pretty good look at the documentation and done some playing.
It looks like it could handle a lot of what I have in mind. If you're familiar
with Distributed Proofreaders what I have in mind is similar.

I haven't spent a great amount of time researching yet so your post prompts me
to ask. If eXistdb was a hot product 10 years ago and is apparently still
undergoing maintenance and upgrading that would seem to indicate a pretty well
used product. Is there something out there that has overtaken it? Are XML
databases passé? I'm afraid I don't know the space well, so any hints or some
more words on the subject would be much appreciated.
