Sorry; but was sounding a little over engineered before, it seems to be
blowing out of proportion now. By whom and how are these (immensely
complicated) rule sets going to be maintained? how is using XML going to
make this any easier than using the tools native to the database?
If they're validated inside the database then it's going to be done by a
DB admin anyway, or am I missing something? If they're done by the DB
admin, isn't it easy to just use the tools they're used to?
