This is hard to tell. We think it is a _possible_ way doing that. Do you 
have some alternatives in mind?

And also if the Statdataml api

You mean directly from the Internet like:

readSDML("http://wi.wu-wien.ac.at/home/meyer/test.sdml")

? Yes, this comes for free since readSDML use xmlTreeParse which 
supports that.

Best,
