You can *always* do these things with an RDBMS, but you *really*
should ask yourself if that is the simplest, best or most efficent way
to do it. When dealing with semantically rich stuff, my answer is
always XML over RDBMS, and especially through design phases. It may
need to be converted into RDBMS at a later stage, but only because you
don't know the wonderfulness of XML:DB. :)
