PTC does indeed use the XML directly...however...

 From page 2223 of the 4.0.1_r1 spec:

2.3
IETP display transformation
To render a data module for display to an end user the IETP process 
transforms the data in the XML neutral repository into a viewable 
"end-user" form.

A web-browser-based IETP is the minimal level described in the 
functionality matrix in 6.4.2 of the spec.
