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.
