Dann Corbit suggested something similar recently: an SQL database server
that stores opening books. However, I'm not sure if there is a real demand for
it.

An opening book in XML is not well suited for searching. At best, XML could be
used as an intermediate format. However, PGN seems to be the more natural
candidate for a text-based format. Actually, most (if not all) programs
generate their opening books from PGN files.
