    Eventhough it's made-up, "object-mapped data files" sounds really cool. 😎

    Actually, in the context of a RDBMS, it sounds appallingly uncool - back to the bad old days of the network or heriarchical database models (which would have been a sensible approach to handling XML in an RDBMS, but someone had to reinvent the wheel, didn't they, and forgot it should have no sharp corners) or, even worse, forward to the long promised but never yet delivered working nontrivial OODBMS.
