Vista - XPS documents security

Will this new document format support a view only mode?
I need to show a user the document but not allow him to capute it in any way
at all, not even print screen.

So let's take this XPS document with the XPS viewer hosted in IE. As you'll

This is possible, because XPS implements the same packaging technology as
the new Office file format. So when I right click on this document and
choose copy, the copy feature is disabled.So let's take this XPS document
