Hi,
There is a free XML_Results plugin that allows you to publish your search results in XML. This allows you to server up any search you like (search within a category, search on a particular field, etc) in XML.
So you could flag links that you want as XML by adding a new field 'DisplayXML', and then make queries such as:
search.cgi?DisplayXML=Yes
to show all xml results, or to limit them to a specific category, you can pass in the category ID.
You could also create an XML template set, and use dynamic mode to serve up XML pages for any category.
There isn't anything built in for what other sites do with the data, although you may want to look at:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/perl/gforum/gforum.cgi?post=199494
which has a sample script a person could put on their site which uses the XML plugin.
Hope that helps,
Alex
