Well .. yes. Just create a table with two columns- a string key and a BLOB 
value. (Or whatever the right way to store a bunch of xml in a single 
table cell.

However we'd need to hack up our response stuff to make it work too (we'd 
need to treat the blob as XML and get it serialized correctly).

I'd like to get the current stuff done and out and then look at expanding 
the scope.
