Having dealt before with standarized output for a
distributed system, I am
wondering if your package follows the SQL/XML mapping
standard (see the info at
http://www.sqlx.org/)

FYI, there are ISO and ANSI standards on the mapping of data
and identifiers
between SQL and XML. For the usual cases is rather trivial,
the problem begins
with the maping of identifier names (tables, dbs, schemas,
etc.), which in SQL
can be composed of anything, including spaces and other
random stuff.

There is a more recent (2004) draft for the new SQL/XML
standard that you could
peruse, or if you can, get the ISO and ANSI ones (from 2003)
and use them as
good bedtime reading (I did back when they first came out
