Does anyone have opinions that they'd like to share about Native Xml Databases - NXDs?
How do they compare with ordinary dbs?

I think you should not compare it. If your data is primary XML data and if you can do you process with XQuery, XPath and XUpdate you might consider to use it. Most of them had one problem - they cannot store and query large documents (i.e. 2MB) six months ago, I don't know it that changed.

Good OpenSource ones are Xindice, dbXML and eXist (these two are commercial for some purposes).

Famous commercial is Software AG's Tamino.

I'm the author of one relational-XML bridge MyXMLDB (http://sourceforge.net/projects/myxmldb) which conforms XML:DB API. Most of native XML databases conforms XML:DB API.
