I wanted to mention an option (that's working for me well) rather than give a detail solution. The original poster doesn't tell the data rate and the exact data format. The "XOR" point suggests something like manchester encoding. Obviously, the source clock isn't transmitted with the data, otherwise it won't need to be recovered. I assume however, that the transmitter as well as the receiver are using crystal clocks which a deviation below a few 100 ppm, similar to other communication stituations (Ethernet, USB etc.). For medium speed (e.g. up to 50 MBPS), oversampling is clearly an alternative.
