My ant task uses xml-rpc calls so can control remote db's...not sure if
XMLTools is doing native calls or not, will take a look at the
DeploymentTask in detail.

The not ready for prime time will get put in wiki, then I will cook it a
bit more to patch docs...which I am also going through in detail. I have
to admit that documentation in general could do with a bit of
refactoring; the information is generally fine, but the structure is a
bit helter skelter and I having gone through xindice just recently I
think I can comment on where newbies have problems comprehending what is
authorative versus what is ancillery.
