I hate to be nitpicky, but I have to mention JSON as an option for

like mac plists define an xml language to make associative arrays,
lists, strings, and numbers... so why not cut to the chase and just
send those around? and json parsers exist for every language.
Though json doesn't have a remote method calling standard the way
xml-rpc does, though one could be made with a little bit of effort
(ok, i was going to do such a little bit of effort for js and
python, but never got around to it..)

How about we support both XML-RPC and JSON? :-) I've already
started the XML-RPC servlet, and we can do the JSON one next week
perhaps.
