MS Web Services - XBL Friends Lists

As a bit of background as well as a developer I'm an XBOX gamer. Within XBOX
Live (XBL) users have the ability to generate a list of players they
regularly play with (Friends list). This list is stored by Microsoft or one
of it's subsiduaries.

The ability to link the list to a Passport account is also provided, so that
when you check certain pages (www.aussiexbox.com.au, www.xbox.com.au) you can
view which of your friends is currently online, and what they're playing etc.

What I'm wondering is...

Is this information provided through a web service by Microsoft? If so am I
able to use the service and where can I find it? My aim is to create a
similar service to what is available on the above mentioned pages but in a
panel as part of a greater page. I tried getting it straight out of the pages
above but it is wrapped up so the panel is all I can see...

Thanks,
Steve.
