This is MS way.

Oracle uses new features of SQL2033 standard SQL/XML extension.

Just SQL/XML way is more easier for developers who already know SQL.
And XPath  and Xqueries is more easy for developers who good know XML.

We dream about this :-)

We have spend few developers months working on this task before 2.0 yet.
Even first tests did work... But later we have hold this task to be able
