are any advantages to it and also the ability to extend it since I am sure
it wont have the array of capabilities I need, ie, wont meet the 80-20
rule.

I've never thought of XML as anything other than a very flexible data
transport - it's certainly not a database, nor was it ever intended to be
one.

If you were writing a letter, you wouldn't use Excel because that simply
wouldn't be the right product. You could, of course, write a letter in Excel
if you really wanted to... Same goes for using XML as a database.

If you need a database solution, then use a database.
