[IRCServices] using the xml module for data bases

     This is not possible by design.  XML is a data interchange format, not
a data storage format, and I do not consider it suitable for persistent
storage of Services' databases.  I will not entertain suggestions for
adding an XML database module, though you are of course free to write your
own.
