          So, you're suggesting that we all use XML to do rpc-ish things?

          Well... you can turn left here, I'm turning right.

          imho, a *better* approach is to figure out how to solve the firewall
          "problem".  The lemming strategy is not always a good one.  Let's
          be innovative.
