If your data is in a regular enough structure (rows and columns) to be read in and out of a dataset, do you really need XML?

Could you avoid the libname engine entirely, use put statments to write the data and call an XSLT engine to read/translate it?

Could you use SAS as a back-end only, have it act as a database, and have your application communicate with SAS using ODBC or OLEDB? Then you could forget about SAS's XML support entirely.
