Its not as feature rich as some of these others, but we have had a lot
of success using Exist, which supports Xquery (somewhat) and follows
the same XMLDB standard as Xindice. Its fast, not transaction aware, and
does have some reliablity issues that they are working hard to resolve.
But its light and easy to use.
Xquark sounds like it might put Xanthoria and Digir out of work!

Sleepycat's mission is to provide the fastest, most reliable and
scalable transactional database for developers. Our products include:
** Berkeley DB - With over 200 million active deployments in use
today, it's hard to make it through the day without somehow
coming in contact with something that relies on Berkeley DB.
** Berkeley DB XML - A native XML database with an optimized
XQuery access layer built atop Berkeley DB.
** Berkeley DB Java Edition - A pure Java version of Berkeley DB. If
you're building a software product or system that requires dependable
data storage, you owe it to yourself to evaluate our software libraries.
Chances are one of our database engines will suit your needs.
