I don't really know much about the XML/XSL view stuff... If it were me, I guess I'd use a Velocity template to generate XML, but maybe I'm missing something there.
The ClientDispatcher shouldn't be too hard to get working... I personally don't have time to do it, but I'd be willing to share ideas and pointers with anyone who wanted to work on it.
