I don't think there is any way to use a web service as a "direct source",
but you can certainly use MSXML to make an HTTPRequest that will retrieve
the XML from the service and then do whatever you want to with the data.

I do this for data interchange between our corporate database and individual
client databases used by our field personnel.
