XML on iSeries

We may have occasion in the next few months to receive/send files to/from
the government in XML format.  Nothing that's a record-at-a-time transaction
kind of communication, but entire batches of records at a time.

I see there are some licpgm's in this area, namely:

5722DE1 *BASE   DB2 UDB Extenders    
5722DE1 1       DB2 UDB Text Extender
5722DE1 2       DB2 UDB XML Extender 
5722DE1 3       Text Search Engine   
5722XT1         XML Toolkit

Can someone tell me briefly if these are what I would be looking for?  Are
the DB2 things listed a prerequisite for 5722XT1?  Does one of these allow
you to "do" XML with RPG?  There was once some IBM Alphaworks project
regarding RPG/XML.  Is 5722XT1 the result of that?

At mowyourlawn.com (love that name!) is some XML stuff from Aaron Bartell.
Is this stuff a complete solution or does it require specific licpgm's like
those listed above?

Guess I'll go look for redbooks . . .

Thanks.
