Speaking personally, if it hastens the end of SQL as the predominate relational style language then I'm all for it ;-)

On the other hand, I'm sure that the XML stuff raises interesting questions and provides some interesting answers, albeit with some percentage of both being wrong-headed.

Also, if I happen to get some features, like maybe multiple-update or say better optimised recursive queries, that bring some parts of SQL and SQL implementations closer to a relational ideal, then I would take some solace.
