I think this is a great demonstration of XML-over-the-wire - exactly what I
was looking for. I pointed JUMBO2 at it and the default display shows the
siteChanges file beautifully - without any customisation. If I knew the
date convention I could even sort on dates...

This is the first 'real' non-textual XML file I have downloaded from an
'unknown' site and I'm delighted with how it all works.
