"How do you make traditional database languages like SQL (Structured Query
Language) work with XML?" asked W3C spokeswoman Janet Daly in an interview
with CNET News.com. "The XML Query working group has been putting together a
framework of documents that provide the technical answer to that question,
so that XML documents can start to look like parts of one massive database."

What I kinda find a little dumb is if SQL is already a standard why does it
have to work w/ XML?  If a database was open to the web what is wrong with
just querying it in the first place ...
