Obviously. But even so, XML isn't the only way to
store all the information. Looking away from the web
for a second, how would you usually store large
amounts of info on a computer? In a database of
course! So why not here too, with w web database that
can be easily interpreted by perl and displayed in
simple HTML form. mySQL is a better solution than XML.
