	If I were starting a project, I'd argue furiously that XML is NOT
something that should be used for dynamic data storage (the original GRAMPS
not withstanding -- I see it now uses BSDdb). It may be a useful
representation for transferring/transforming data, but not for
persistance/updates.

	If used for data transfer, the schema should be well thought out to
facilitate updates to the long-term storage format.
