could i say, drop it into the excerpt. and in my single.php drop the_excerpt tags outside of the loop? does that work? can i create a second loop in single.php to show my extra html as the excerpt? would that work?
i want to include a little review in my sidebar for the site related to each post i make.

pffft, I thought you already had the content, hence the xml thing. If you still need to write it just do this: in your sidebar, include the following code
Code:
<div id="some-name"><?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "myreview", $single = true); ?></div>
And in your posts add a custom field called
myreview with the text you want. And that's it, your problem solved in 2 easy steps
(I recommend you to add a text field area for that custom code so it's easy to see what you write, you can edit functions.php or grab one of several existing plugins to do it).
PS: since you will want this only in single.php pages, be sure to either call a sidebar2.php (with the same content as sidebar.php PLUS the review) or call the review outside the sidebar code and adjust the placement of the div. I recommend you the first approach. Of course you can load the sidebar.php with conditionals (if single.php load something) but it seems to me you'll have more trouble this way
