You may be thinking of this thing they call WDDX:

  Q: What is WDDX? 
  A: WDDX is an XML-based technology that enables the exchange of
complex data between Web programming languages. WDDX consists of a
language-independent representation of data based on an XML 1.0 DTD, and
a set of modules for a wide variety of languages that use WDDX. WDDX can
be used with HTTP, SMTP, POP, FTP and other Internet protocols that
support transferring textual data.

I don't really think this is related to the XML GUI formatting object
idea, though.
