You give them a XML Document and let them save it to a file with their Web
service client application that contacts your Web service application. You
might even write and give them a Web Service Client Console Application that
makes the contact with the Web service and does the file save, which they
can run when they need to run it. Or you can use the Web Client application
to test your site.
