Yes, its great for that. I expect that my application would be capable 
of such "export" to XML from the BDBXML Container (as well as separate 
"export" of the embedded binary content as its native file format). But, 
this sort of conversion to Base64 would/could be managed in my 
application if the underlying storage were in a more compressed encoding.
