You probably can not do that with any reasonably out-of-the-box XML
parser. Furthermore, you may need to pass the stream trough charset
decoder to get some internal stringish representation. This will make it
mad. So, in short, I strongly disagree here.
But you may like SCTP or how's the protocol called and push the blobs
out-of-the stream. Or another "blobby" TCP connection to the server. (if
you really want to send these things trough the server).
