If you pick XML, you probably want to write a specification for
your data structures.  Then, you may consider to use XML schema's.
They are more verbose than useful, and require some study.  However, it
is widely accepted in the business world.

When you choose to create a schema for your data-exchange, you may take
a look at my new module XML::Compile.  It hides *all* XML processing
from your program, is very fast, validating, processes types strictly,
and does name-spaces correctly.  Written because the existing modules
were to sloppy and slow for my taste.

On the down-side: XML::Compile is rather new; it needs real-life
applications and requires larger examples.  The final few schema
features are to be implemented soon.  Some more typical perlish magic
would be welcome.  A challenge?

The plan is to extend this module (based on XML::LibXML) into an
alternative for SOAP::Lite and SOAP::WSDL.
