If it's an XML document, by all means simply use the built-in
Dataset.  Set the attributes to not load initially.  Then
at the time you actually want to grab the XML, manually
load the dataset.  Code examples of loading the dataset
after initialization are in the docs.  (and lots of
examples in the forums or this list if you do a search)
