How specific to Firebird is this tool then? Can it be used 
to dump/load data from any JBDC-compatible database?

How do you determine the encoding? I think it sould at 
least be controllable by the user.

I think that such a scheme is impossible to validate, at 
least with DTD. This  is very unfortunate, but the only 
"correct" way IMO is
   <row>
     <column name="col1">data 1</column>
     <column name="col2">more data</column>
   </row>
Yes, XML _is_ bloated :(

I receive this list in a digest form, so I have to scroll 
through both text and *undecoded* html versions of your 
e-mails. So while I think I do have a life, it is not made 
any easier by this ;)
