That's why I think the way to advance the use of XP is to separate 
interface from implementation. More and more I am convinced that the 
/only/ way for me to use XP on a project is for my client to outsource 
the entire project to me and, if I'm lucky, "my team." (My team, at 
present, is me.)

This way we only need XP-related buy-in from the Customer. For the rest, 
we get business-related buy-in, which is easier (though not easy) to do. 
The Whole Team has to implement the Business interface, which I don't 
think I can achieve by joining an existing development group.
