I would suggest you create a different URI if you are going to have  
different formats rather then having AX understand formats. ie

http://mydomain.com/mydate.json and http://mydomain.com/mydate.xml --  
then the OP does not need to understand the format either, and may be  
oblivious to it if desired.
