If people interactions are involved, you need to think about how those 1/10
second margins add up. It might not be appreciable, but the network bandwidth
used and the latency involved on certain networks can make particular
applications unrealizable. With the mobile information network growing, and
the
charges by the KB for data, this can be an issue too.

It should be a measured consideration I think. You have to decide how much you
can spend on "measuring" to decide what the "costs" are.

If you need mobile code, then XML gets in the way because you don't really gain
anything by "wrapping" code in XML. Mobile code in the server environment
really increases the rate and simplification of distribution of updates. You
can install updates in one place, and everyone gets the update.
