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!
