True - I just didn't know if you had other reasons behind it. But you're assuming that things like HTTP, Database drivers and so forth work without looking at the packets of data they're using, why not this? ;^) To see the XML you really need either an HTTP sniffer or a consumer that will dump the XML before actually consuming it. The whole point of most consumers is that you DON'T see the XML - you see the structured data.
