XML is more and more the way to interact between databases. There are a lot of companies where XML has become the standard of exchanging data, even between two schemas on the same database. I personally agree on using XML between databases, as long as it is done because the DB's are on different locations, use a different OS, or because it is data exchange between an Oracle and MySQL or other DB.
