I'm not convinced that a database is even needed initially; a directory
of XML files which are the unique-IDs would work. Then, one can access
the XML directly by doing:
http://www.gnu.org/encyclopedia/data/unique-id-of-article.xml
and let the Web server do what it's good at: serving files. At some
later date, it might be desirable to have an actual database, but I
can't really see the advantage except for locking issues when writing
to the files, but this could just be simply
``id-of-article.xml.lock''.
