What a blast from the past. We did exactly this in '99-2000 (yes), and it was ridiculed as being over-engineered. At the time, it was the future because "XML will underpin all data transfer everywhere", and therefore we would be set up to run on any device, should any other device begin to exist. Needless to say, the winds changed way sooner than that became a real use case.
