You can get rid of the downside, by setting php to parse any file
without an extension... Not sure how you'd do that... Hehe... That
way you get something like:
http://updates.takingitglobal.org/xml/martin83
Where xml is actually the php file.. Martin83 is the variable that it
sucks out like marrow from a bone. :P
