The XML that you mention is used to transmit files between sites, and
possibly as a function template for defining formats.

Interchange can easily generate XML, in fact if you look in usertag/
you will find a quick and dirty xml-generator tag.

I intend to have an XML file format importer/exporter for Interchange before
too long, i.e. you could define:

	Database products DELIMITER XML

This would obviously be nice for importing/exporting something like
the userdb database.

It will also probably be the preferred method for saving site
layout and configuration.
