Your project sounds exactly the same as mine. Here are my thoughts, and someone please chime in because I may be way off base. XML does not offer any of the more complex formatting options that you would require with a catalog type production (fonts, image support, etc) so therefore you would end up spending an awful lot of time post-processing the document anyways. Alot of my content is in tables, and XML does not support much at all in the way of table formatting... My guess is that XML is targetted at a much different audience, one that I have yet to see explained or demonstrated. However, I would be extrememly interested to see someone using it for catalog type generation!
