In principal, by serving it via cocoon (pkgsrc/www/cocoon), which has a
very nice server framework for XSLT transformations (XML->HTML,
XML->PDF, XML->WAP/WML, XML->anything, really), and a neat architecture
for dynamic XML generation / transformation.

I haven't really done anything XML-ish with the 3dparty script, mind
you, but I've been doing a lot of work in cocoon, so I'm trying to
standardize on XHTML for the output of various cgis and so forth that I
maintain.  Mostly, of course, this means downcasing tag names, being
conservative about attribute formatting, and marking empty tags (img,
hr, br, etc) with a trailing " /" in the tag, as XML (unlike SGML) does
not autodetect or implicitly close tags which have no end tag, unless
they are so marked...
