That also helps with the relationships between pages, comments, etc. Of course, the content itself can be stored as XML within a suitable database field, and XML can be used as part of the publishing process if that is deemed valuable.

Everything has gone as planned so far except that I'll be implementing a news section which will allows visitors to leave comments. This is where the problem pops up. I will be storing the content of all pages including the news posts in individual xml files so I am thinking if whether I should store the comments also in their respective pages or create seperate xml files to store them? If I create seperate files to store the comments, can you think of a way I can establish relations between them? Basically create a link between all comments with their associated post.
