Kevin, I was toying with Berkeley DBXML in our link resolver project (I gave up in favor for Ferret: Ruby's port of Lucene), but am strongly considering it for both an EAD project we have here, as well as a replacement for our Zebra mirror of our OPAC (both of these coupled with Ferret/Lucene for fulltext indexing). In the link resolver, I was using XQuery (although I'm not sure what you mean by 'primary development language') and would probably be using it again on the other projects. -Ross.
