Thanks for the response, Larry.

I am trying to get an attribute of a polygon without clicking the
map.  Basically what we call in GIS terms is an identity overlay.  We
pass in geometry, the system takes the geometry, overlays it on a
polygon, then returns the attributes of that polygon.

An example would be, geocode your house, and overlay its location on a
school catchment polygon to determine what school your kids need to go
to...

Hope this clarifies things?

I can certainly parse the XML, one I know what to retrieve...
