I think the problem Amazon is solving is different, but there is a 
subset of each that is the same - i.e. an intersection. The intersection 
is simply storing an XML value (xs:any) against a key (xs:string). 
Obviously our data model has more possibilities, and their 
performance/availability model is completely different. I guess what I'm 
asking is whether someone who wants this very simple storage model can 
do it *very simply* with our approach.
