You don't loose anything, but the parser wont acceppt it.

Thats one way to do it. Personaly I would prefere a central SQL server to hold 
the data and to generate the XML file every now and then. But there is several 
other possible solutions. But we dont need to specify that.

 JV>     Would XML by any chance abort at the first error found, so you

An XML parser wouldn't acceppt the XML document at all if the file is not 
valid. It would exit with an error message, telling you what line is invalid.
