I hope in the positive sense?
It's just a framework for easy development of database applications. It 
is composed of an XML database, an IDE, client/server communication 
protocol, and a client side GUI that render the forms designed by IDE, 
compile and executes the event modules. All application objects created 
by IDE are stored in an application database, shared by all customers 
using that application, and it's own data database. The server is 
Bluebottle, of course.
Then I have extended the framework to access SQL databases running on a 
remote Windows server, most for integration purpose. In a Page 
(master/detail combined forms) we mix SQL data from ERP with XML related 
data.

Thank you for the hint. I have tried to trace the messages, but it was 
so verbose, I didn't understand much.

Thanks,
