Actually UPDATEGrams are supported via update to SQLServer 2000.
See What's New in XML for Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Web Release 1
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnsql2k/html/updategrams.asp

I have found what I needed at the following MSDN library address (part of SQLXML20 documentation):
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/sqlxml2/updategram_9m5v.asp

Thanks for your help
