I agree that polling is not a compelling solution. A separate component
would be much better.

My experience is that even when you pass the XMLSocket.send() method a
string representing the XML, rather than XML itself, it still converts it
to XML and adds the terminating / (along with the zero byte). It's
possible that if you pass a string without the <>, Flash might interpret
it as normal string instead, but I don't see this as useful.
