Don't mix markup with content. It is precisely the requirement to gather, parse and convert XML, a verbose and chatty process, that makes the JSP option for semi-static content a development mistake when Domino is an option. I've seen that mistake more than once, and it makes things unnecessarily slow and non-scalable. Just because a technology has a new cool three-letter acronym doesn't make it a better solution.
Nested objects? Where the heck does that come in? (By the way, that's usually stated as the objection to Domino as a database -- there's too much nesting and not enough direct data accessibility.) You have databases containing documents containing items containing data and other objects -- how many levels of nesting do you need?
Content management for the web does not have to be (and IMHO should not be) based on transitional data structures -- unless there is a complete disconnect between the CMS and the content-delivery system. Domino does not require any such compromise, since the content management system and the content delivery system are one and the same. Going to a non-native storage structure -- XML is a transport structure and not a storage structure -- just to say that you're keeping up with the alphabet soup is silly in ways that defy simple description.
You say you want XML. Might I ask why? Is there anything in particular you had planned to do with the XML, or do you just need to be able to say "it's in there, somewhere"? If you actually need it, have you taken a look at DXL? Have you taken a look at the facilities provided to construct your own schema(s)? Have you really taken a look under the hood at all? Or are you merely trolling?
