It doesn't strike me as a forward looking investment. IMHO XML-RCP is something that will only get used less in the future, not more. The value you get from an XML-RCP implementation will become less and less as fewer services support it. But then again ESUG is free to spend their money on what they seem fit. If they disagree or decide the current use is big enough, I have no problem at all with this.
