ok, yes, this sounds like an interesting direction, indeed.

Good point. This will be a problem. We cannot even assume an internet 
connection during RKWard installation. It might be possible to work around 
this by putting
   require (XiMpLe)
in .onLoad() / .First.lib(). This would delay the installation of the 
dependency until the package is first loaded.

Or of course the XML functions would have to be included, for the time 
being...
