I too run an XX RD and 42/28 crank. I initially tried to use a Rival 22 FD, but the lower part of the cage hit my chainstay. I installed an XX FD and with Rival 22 shifters it is absolutely the best front shifting I have ever experienced.
I think there are two cage models of the XX FD (among other versions). Mine is marked "45t max" on the back and I think that may be the bigger of the two as the other was intended for the 39/26 XX rings.
Edit: My mistake, you said cassette. Yes, I think both the mid-cage and long cage XX RD are officially rated to 36t.
