All Jakob had to do was "do it" on:

  myXml := '<SomeElement>.... all kinds of XML ... </SomeElement>'

He now has access to myXml.  Then replace all the text in the
workspace with that from the other workspace.  Done.

I guess I see Workspaces for learning and discovery for newbies.
Short, simple, explorations of syntax and class library.

Attempting to do work as complex as parsing a large XML is going to
present further challenges above and beyond accessing an object.  If
someone feels the need to "link workspaces" they really should stop
and consider just making a class.  In fact, I think linked workspaces
would lead a newbie down the wrong path..
