I think for read access it could work as is. Safely writing to the
resource however would need more work. I can imagine though this being
data that is mostly read only. So one can just stop the XMLRPC server
while writing to the resources.

Do you mean needing a 'password' type argument for each XMLRPC
function, and only returning data if the password matches? That's how
I read this above.
