Are you looking for something different? Yes, I want to be able to directly typeset XML on a server w/o having to make that intermediate file. I believe I managed to make the .fmt file using the command: xetex -ini \&xelatex xmltex (but still need to understand where I put the resulting .fmt file and make it active) I did find eplain instructions here: http://tug.org/docs/html/eplain/Installation.html but the directions assume a bit of knowledge which I'm still digging for.
