Thanks for the invitation  ;-)

Here is an Zope-XML newcomer trying to set something working  (I'm into 
Zope for 1.5 years)

I'm trying to set a TMX (Translation Memory XML) library so that 
translators can check wether somebody translated the same thing before. 
Most Translation Memory software exports to TMX so it could be a nice 
resource for a translators group.

I'm assuming that I will need:

- Load TMX files with ParsedXML to the ZODB.
- Catalog them with ZCatalog.
- Build a simple search and presentation interface.

( more for a second phase: ZODB objects added via web => TMX files conversion )

So, my questions are (due to my regular knowledge of the state of the art 
of Zope-XML...)

1- Should I leave the TMX files as ParsedXML in the ZODB, or would I get 
much better performance (and ease of use for me actually...) transforming 
them to ZODB regular objects? (let's say that I define a new Class or ZClass)

2- Any info about any project doing something similar? (I'm actually a 
little bit lost with nodeNames and #text...)

Thank you

Gari
