I don't want to discourage you, but a bit of warning: a lot of people around here don't like XML, and you'll probably get a lot of flack for pushing it (the last guy did). But if you make something that can really prove its worth, people will respect you.
The point of XML-RPC is not the "XML", it's the wide variety of implementations.

And I'm not convinced that's all of them, either.

The XML is just a convenient format. This is in contrast to the quickly-bloating SOAP, where XML is an issue and every stupid, asinine XML standard is complexifying it every which way possible.

Unfortunately, I was just tossing together a quick Freenet-based project with a little extra time; I'm already committed on other open-source projects and can't spend the time to add an XML-RPC interface. But I would recommend adding that to any long-term wishlist you may be keeping around, or list of ways that people can contribute without needing to understand the protocol intimately; it would increase the value of the software significantly.

In the meantime, I totally understand that your current priority is basically "get the *(#*%@'in thing working", so this is not a demand or criticism. Thanks for a kick-ass free speech tool.
