You parse the feed with an xml parsing module in PHP, Perl, Python, Ruby or? then render the HTML dynamically.

Code:
$xml  = simplexml_load_file("FetishModels.xml");
This is a PHP version. You cache the XML file locally.

XML Tutorial
http://www.w3schools.com/xml/default.asp

The 'style sheet' they refer to is written in XSL/XSLT.
http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/

These are very basic primers and tutorials

The problem with XSL/XSLT is that the source code is in raw XML and the search engines don't index XML. For now HTML rendering of the XML data is the way to go.

I like XML for affiliate use because it allows affiliates to build their own one-of-a-kind promo tools and they have the freedom to SEO the information or customize the information to their visitors' liking.

It's not a point and click process ;)
