I believe this is a security measure inside browsers. The xml does not have to be static (e.g., generated from php/sql call) but it does have to be local. You could try Babel (http://simile.mit.edu/babel/), or maybe Yahoo Pipes (to convert the XML into one of the formats Exhibit can import.) Php, or some server-side code, should be able to grab the remote xml file and pass it to Exhibit. Unfortunately, I haven't tried these so I don't have any code. ;) Of course, if you don't need real-time data, you can run a simple script (wget) that downloads the xml to your server, such as on a hourly basis.
