Tamino Client for the XML:DB-API ?

Hi,

I have one simple question. Does Tmino have a XML:DB API client. I want to access Tamino just the same way I can access any other 100% standard-based XML database. I don’t want to use all the nifty HTML and XSL stuff shipped with Tamino. I simply want to put my information in and get ist out again using standard API’s.
Is Tamino a tool I can use ?
