Yes.
Especially about adapters !

TML stored function get XML from external world (DBMS listen port #80),
work, than make output of other XML into external world.
Transport is executed through HTTP.

>who cares whether the RDBMS has this specific layout as a format.

I want to answer, but i don't understood phrase "layout as a format".
Please, explain your question.

>I can see how it might be useful as a library

I don't see, how to use TML as library :)

>there are libraries that provide plenty of XML formatting

Once more: XML is side effect! If you know better format for tree,
please describe it.

Gold is ejection of shim (gasket): php, perl, etc.
