Can we get XML support in PowerHouse Web?

[Roger Kesterson]

I think the Web is one big fog bank!  And if you turn on the high beams to
try to see more than 10 feet in front of your face, you are blinded by the
glare...

These are interesting questions.  I need to think on it some more as I have
only thought about from a business rather than a programming perspective.
Most current RDBMS's now include an XML interface for use by web apps, the
Cognos BI tools use XML to call each other and user defined components as
well as hooks to other tools, XML can also be used to read/write to text
files including cookies.
 
My thoughts are still too foggy.  When they clear up I can respond better.

How do you see the calls working? Is this like a DO EXTERNAL or do you see
us writing XML to a port?
 
And how much format information would be needed in the XML?

I mean the ability to create interfaces (calls) to other applications and
data stores using XML commands and data strings.  Similar to what IWR, PPES,
Upfront can do today.  I assume ReportNet also uses XML to communicate with
various applications.

XML support is on the enhancement list for PowerHouse Web. What I'd like to
know is what you mean by XML support? Just to see if it fits with mine (and
no, I won't give any hints :-) ).

To those nice Cognos people watching the list.  
 
Are there any plans to incorporate XML support in the PowerHouse Web syntax?
