RE: Goofy Late Night Idea?

Ethan,
I saw a demo of exactly this a while back using Oracle, XMLDB; which supports access by http, ftp and webdav. I haven't loaded myself; but there is mention of a downloadable demo at
http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/tech/xml/xmldb/index.html

Cheers,

Bruce McCartney
