That's my choice as well, but there's nothing to prevent the user from doing what
they want with the data. With HTML it was no problem, because the data was pretty
much useless anyway, but providing XML data is almost like providing access to a
database - the user is free to draw as many invalid inferences as they can dream of.
Surely this has the potential to be a problem of some proportion, doesn't it?
