<form>s don't return information.  The _targets_ of <form>s return
information.  In your case this is some 3rd party server.

Don't return this XML to your user.  In general, don't _ever_ return
3rd party information to your user. Process it on your server first,
using a simple XSLT transformation to turn it into HTML.

Also check the licensing of the 3rd party service and whether you're
allowed to do this. Also check (an ongoing task) that their server
keeps working, and keeps working in the same way. Subtle changes to
their output could break your code, particularly if you don't code your
XSLT to be robust.
