know anything about XMLRPC(xmlrpc.org)?? Because you can do exactly what 
you are wanting to do with Jabber-RPC 
(http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0009.html), and even have typesafe 
parameters (er, well at least tags eg. <boolean/> that _should_ contain 
the type of pcdata you want, but thats an excersize left to the 
implementor). If you have any questions let me or the list know (there 
are a few xmlrpc over jabber implementors out there)
