New XML API for Transaction Processing

[Michelle]

Hi again,

Today, we're also pleased to announce that we now have an XML API for Transaction Processing. The API, createTransactionRequest, is available now. The guide is still being finalized, but you can review the XSD at https://api.authorize.net/xml/v1/schema/AnetApiSchema.xsd.

And of course, for your convenience, here are the XML examples for the request and response:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The following is the XML sent for transactions.

We hope this new method of submitting transactions is useful.
