You don't. There have been techniques in the past (M$ XML data islands
and the <XML> tag) to do this and there will be XHTML techniques
(namespaces) to do it with in the future, but right at the moment it's
impractical and frowned upon. A better way is to use JavaScript,
borrow some standard AJAX code, and load the XML separately by using a
scripted object within the page to load the XML through a separate HTTP
transaction.
