Report mdoel

Hi,
Is there any way of leveraging the new report model / ad hoc functionality
when reporting from xml data sources? Everything seems to be based around if
your data is actually in an xml format. Is this at all possible?
More specifically would it be possible if the xml data source was in fact a
web service?
I realise this is kind of quirky, it's just that I'm using RS to report off
a web service and now I'm wondering is there any way I coudl allow users to
simply build their own reports.
Any help / pointers would be much appreciated...
Thanks,
PhilXML data sources do not seem to be supported for model generation.
If you go to Report Manager, Data Sources, and look at the properties of a
SQL data source, you'll see a Generate Model button at the bottom. I thought
that if you had an XML data source, you would be able to generate a model
from there as well, however, that button disappears when the data source is
XML type.
