From a Microsoft propaganda page on IIS:
"Just as HTML lets you describe the format of a Web document, Extensible Markup Language (XML) lets you semantically describe the complex structure of data or documents, which can then be shared across a variety of applications, clients, and servers. Using the Microsoft XML Parser, included with Internet Explorer version 4.0 or later, you can create server-side applications enabling your Web server to exchange XML-formatted data with Internet Explorer version 4.0 or later, or with other servers having XML parsing capabilities."

And in the MSDN, I found this list for IIS5:

New Features in ASP:
New flow control methods
Improved error handling
Scriptless ASP
Performance-enhanced objectsExtensible Markup Language (XML) integration
Microsoft? Windows? Script Components
A new way to determine browser capabilities
ASP self-tuning
Server-side include with SRC attribute
Encoded scripts in ASP pages

So, have your developerswrite XML. Looks like IIS support it right out of the box.

hope this helps
