Well, the way commonly used in browsers now to request remote XML data 
without a page-refresh is called "XmlHttpRequest()"... it's the "X" in 
"AJaX".

But if you're providing this for the sites of others then you may need 
to check whether their audiences' browsers are pre-qualified for this 
feature. After that it might be a little tricky to tell any HTML/JS page 
designer how to integrate your code with theirs.

If you'd like to provide data in XML from your server, and have that 
displayed within the HTML pages of varied sites, then it seems like it 
might be easier for most content developers to just specify a SWF than 
to integrate their JavaScript and markup with yours. If you'd prefer 
JavaScript, then do you have an idea of what types of support costs 
would be acceptable for the job...?
