Admittedly at first there isn't that big an advantage,
but what happens when you start wanting to database
it. Putting all the XML files into an SQL database
could be a big job, so why not start off with a
database, which also makes it a lot easier to edit the
layout of every article, 'cuz you could do it all at
once. And I'm sure we will alter the layout etc. a lot
in the future...
