I'm working on some client/server code that uses xindice to store and configure client GUI screens (on a per user basis).

In other words my client says to the server, "send me the initialization xml for the GUI screen called BBT that belongs to user sandy."

xindice ships xml (originally added to the server with -n BBT_sandy) back to the client, which uses that xml to dynamically create a GUI screen, which the end-user will possibly (probably) modify. So, at some point, the client wants to send BBT_sandy back to xindice, for use by sandy at a later date.

Although I haven't tried, it seems obvious I could use
XUpdate to change the contents of the server-side xml
that defines sandy's BBT gui screen.

I can also just add that document again, effectively overwriting
the original with the new. If the xml files I'm dealing with
are small, what are the tradeoffs?
