Hm. If all your docs are in a specific format then I suppose this would
be possible. I'd recommend, though, not doing that; conversions of
arbitrary data stuff to XML would be a bit hairy, unless you can flat
out guarantee that all the files are in that specific format. What do
you mean by "a CMS...to manage my doc library"? What sorts of docs are
we talking about, and what do you want to do to manage them?
