Charles,
I recall there was some XML code in Unicon, but I never had time to get past
the learning curve. It's a package or directory.
I suspect Charles is right about it being base64. There is probably a RFC
that'll give a definitive answer.
Another way to parse the xml is with a XLST, there are some command line
translators for Unix and one for Windows, that should do. XLST has it;s own
learning curve though.

This sounds like base 64 encoding - probably inside XML CDATA elements.
There
are some base64 decoding routines in the icon program library
(ipl/procs/base64.icn), so if you could parse the XML and extract the
base 64
data, you could get the binary string out.
Hope this helps
