Full access would be very dangerous, but a highly restricted read-only account wouldn't be too bad though. I know most hosting companies don't allow this on their virtual hosting for security reasons, so you'd need a dedicated mysql server somewhere, where you could grant the read-only / highly locked down access grants.
XML-RPC is a nice method I recently learned about which would be a good candidate in addition to, or along side of, straight XML.
