A little OT but I figured I'd share anyway - I've taken over maintenance of Nexista since Joshua switched to symfony, and though I've been using metabase for years with it, I've slowly been switching to mdb2. I mention this because Nexista has a lot of XML and SQL capabilities, like converting SQL result sets to an XML document, and loading raw XML files in a similar fashion. Hope that helps in some random way!
