 One of the points to consider is, that it can be made to perform faser, 
even if possibly not now (I didn't made an evaluation).
 For fulltext-indices they build a tree based segmentation of textual 
content (depends on the engine, can for example be a balanced b-tree), 
if you match that with xml (which by definition is a parsable DACG), you 
reach performance way beyond conventional xml-parsers (the tree is 
stored and then walked, unlike reparsed and rebuild and rewalked) 
written in equal conditions (C or C++).

 IBM has XML-support in DB2, Berkeley DB has XML support, Oracle has it 
in 9i.
 It's not that there is no sufficient support.
