Form Encoding XML(?)

XSD, XML Schema Data Types + functions | Re: Form Encoding XML(?)
& XSLT Hi All,

As part of an XML transaction process with our provincial education department, 
I want to be able to automatically email some of the xml transactions (both 
sent and received portions) back to the provincial student records department 
so that we can have them solve the student authentication problems of certain 
transactions (these are typically student enrollment problems). This 
information is selected via feedback from a web form. (ie. 
administrator/secretary selects certain failed ones to email).

The problem: To keep things are simple as possible (and stateless), the email 
function should simply accept the transaction information (ie. xml sent, xml 
received) and email these to the student records department for resolution. 
(along with some other school information, etc.)

Can I just base64 encode the complete transaction (called a 
StudentSchoolEnrollment element, and the response) and then pass it as the 
value of a form element?  Then decode in the email generation function and put 
it into the text of the email?

This just seems ugly and perhaps a more elegant solution exists? I just want to 
keep things as simple as possible and don't really want to do file I/O or 
session management, etc.

Any feedback most welcome,
