It may take further research into the technology to resolve this
(rather than just discussing it for 5min in the interop).  I don't
have any more time at the moment but someone reading this may already
know of a solution.

A possible solution might be to use a stylesheet.  There are
some indications that stylesheet rendering can still be used for
"application/*+xml" MIME types.
