4585	XMLField in PostgreSQL	BleSS	Adrian Holovaty	"I've seen that XMLField is really a TextField that checks if is valid XML:[[BR]]
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/model-api/#xmlfield

But PostgreSql has already a type designed for XML:[[BR]]
http://developer.postgresql.org/pgdocs/postgres/datatype-xml.html [[BR]]
http://developer.postgresql.org/pgdocs/postgres/functions-xml.html

and I think that the PostgreSQL backend would more powerfull if could use that type directly.
