Issue Summary
Thanks for an excellent module, it looks to be an extremely powerful extension of views.
I've tried it out - and apologies if I'm missing anything obvious - but I can't find a way for the XML to contain the output you'd normally see in a view rather than the raw values.
I can see the use of this - for example on a price field it's better to receive the raw digits rather than '£4.99 GBP' - but with some fields such as Content Taxonomy fields it would be more helpful to serve up the taxonomy term's name rather than just its tids.
Is there a way to make this work in the interface, or should it be marked as a feature request?
Thanks!

#1
Right now the module pulls the raw data from the view row objects. The original thinking was as you mentioned, that for a datasource you might be more interested in that data, than what a user sees in the view. But #1 on the TODO list for the next release is to be able to select whether you want this raw data or the actual rendered output from the view - this is especially important for CCK fields.

Brilliant, thanks - will be looking forwards to it :)

Fixed in 6.x-1.0-beta1. You can use the standard Views label for the field or use the raw field name.
