So you would have to transform this data-XML into some form of publishing-XML anyway. Why not have the step to publishing-HTML in the same process chain?

The page displayed in the browser would be the same but only the
displayed data would change, as in my restaurant example. All the
surrounding elements would be the same, only the name of the for-sale
items, prices, descriptions, etc. would change. Such information would
be xml data and only that would need to be transferred from the server.
