xml-dev - RE: Transfering XML Data

[Henrik Frystyk Nielsen <frystyk@microsoft.com>]

I suggest you have a look at SOAP [1] - this is one of the things it is 
designed to do. The SOAP encoding allows you to link to things using URIs
so you can mix and match dynamically between what you want to have inline
and what you want to pull from, say an HTTP server. You can also wrap
things up in a MIME multipart if you so desire [2].
