I think mm:formatter will actually spit out something using
org.mmbase.bridge.util.xml.Generator. This is in other words an XML format
describing a complex data structure, which can be fully generated by taglib
itself.

<mm:formatter>
  <mm:node number="123">
     <mm:relatednodes type="news" max="5" />
   </mm:node>
</mm:formatter>

Will actually cause a Document inside mm:formatter with the node 123 and 5
of its related news node.

I don't know if this could be used here, but I think this feature is
underrated, and could use a remark in this context :-) It could easily be
used to create a servlet (a JSP), which gives MMBase data in XML.
