Assuming a working xml type, what do you think the future of the
contrib/xml2 module should be?
At the moment, I'd imagine that we add duplicate versions of most
functions, where appropriate, that use the xml type instead of the text
type. Perhaps we should supply two sets of SQL files, so that users
have the choice of using the "legacy" versions or the "type-safe"
versions. Anything else?
(I understand that some people are researching GIN-optimized XPath
access to XML data, but that is really a bit further out.)
