Well, it works slightly different right now:

TCP             HTTP            XML-RPC
  |                  |                   |
  |                  |                   |
Handler- based IO engine (hipe)

So... each one lives in its own space. Integrating XML-RPC and HTTP transport 
can be done, but I'd rather tear it off in a separate release, as the XML-RPC 
builts on top of Gavin's and Andreas' work. It will be easier to integrate 
updates then.

I also like to concentrate on the modules and so on, in stead of XML-RPC.
