How to pass an XML document

Question

In the past I've used Web Services internally and I've always passed objects.  But how do I pass an XML document to a third party?  We've agreed on a schema, but I'm not sure how to represent the XML document in the method interface. 

Although a string would work, I'd prefer to take the best approach.

Thanks,
Jake
