Is possible to get external data into XML doc?

Is it possible to bring external data into an xml instance?

Example: XML/XSLT form for data capture open in browser on a pc (of
course!)...

When the form is processed, is there any way to automatically capture
external 
data such as the PC name so that it is included in the XML doc?

TIA, Kathy
