I added answers to your questions to the XML how-to.
¡Great! Thanks

We'll have to investigate if we can set up a LaTeX system on our webserver.
Another option is to have a separate system download the XML files
from its location, generate the PDF files and upload them to the
website either to a "clearinghouse" (where some script checks they are
"ok" [1] or somebody manually checks they are) or directly to their
location.
I could do so with a cron task at my system [2] but, in any case, the
scripts used for (and requirements) PDF generation should be available
at the CVS so that anybody could replicate the build structure [3] and
replace such a system.
Just my few cents
Javier
[1] As in size >0 and <MAX_PERMITED_SIZE, looks like a valid PDF file,
finds some "keyword" in it, are GPG-signed or something else
[2] But that depends trusting me, my system and my home network. I
know some projects who do so (easy to find who if you Google me :) but
PA needs not be one of them.
[3] My system is disconected from the Internet on some occasions
(typically because of I do it myself, sometimes -rarely- because of my
ISP)
