But do you keep track of all these XML files? What about performance issues when these files grow too large? I mean, we are talking about flat files here, no?

Additionally, it makes sense just to have your data in XML so that it doesn't become legacyware. Because it's just a text file, you can put it anywhere. You can work with it programmatically through an API. You can open it up in a web browser or an XML editor or a regular old text editor. You can transform it just about any format very easily with XSL. You can embed it in other XML documents (or vice versa). And when the technology catches up to the standards, you'll be able to do all kinds of advanced searching and linking.
