Storing the metadata as XML is impractical, searching becomes very 
clumsey - the diffinitive(sp?) copy of the data will remain in the database,
however the new version may have multiple pages for one record - eg: one with
subjects and links in french and one in english. I may try to look into making
XML versions of the abstract pages and views pages which get regenerated at
the same time  - that would mean they could be harvested/processed without
any extra load on the server.... Hmmm. 

Don't hold your breath, though.
