Hi,

database sounds like interesting idea. I didn't think about it in that way.
In my opinion, XML DB could be way how to store many SSG "items", not only OVALs/remediations.

If I understood it correctly, only overhead of adding of new remediation would be
adding bindings to product, right?

I don't have own experience with XML databases. What does rest of SSG community think about it?
