Of course, you must use a database system designed for holding XML data ;) If we start using XML properly we can give up on many a lot hacks. We will also save resources because the set of allowed tags is limited and their usage is well-defined :)
BTW, I hate to type articles in XML, it sucks for that purpose badly. Structured text is the thing to go for, but XML... Arrrrgggghhh!!!!
Believe me, no one is suggesting such an evil thing. Wikitext syntax is too complex already--it needs to be simplified, not made worse. We're talking about under-the-hood functionality here, not user interface.
