I don't know/remember the exact reasons Jorn designed it this way but
the XML doc can't just be served as is but needs to be serialized.
Don't really think thats an issue in home network but could be a big
performance issue in corporate networks (not the main target audience
though) so why not send the original file as is since its available?
