>>>>>One of the features of the application (that will be running on the tablet) is that user, every week or so, will create a list of XML files. E.g PM_123.XML, PM_ABC.XML, and so on. I need to 'tag' these XML files as belonging to this particular tablet (not user, because different users may log into this tablet at different times). So my idea is to create an XML file that will "enclose" the XML files created by user/tablet. For example:

Thx for testing, telling us about it and saving me from doing it ;-)

@Dmitry: I am pretty certain iOS wil get multi-user capabilities some time in the future. Better plan accordingly, as current editions of Win/Droid tablets already support it and multiple users there will have each their separate copy of browser storage.
