You mean these?

  http://www.megginson.com/ugly/slides/slide0001.html

There's also this thread of DMs on traffic analysis, 

  http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/200101/msg00057.html

which is related. And a little while ago I suggested this,

  http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/200206/msg00247.html

which does similar firewall penetration tricks as ERHs example, only 
without XInclude, just a parser which retrieves external entities.
