Sounds very interesting.

Cool, but I would argue for a SOAP/WSDL version also. XML-RPC is not a
bad place to start, but many development frameworks (like .NET and
Java) have really great support for SOAP these days, so I think to
just stick to XML-RPC would be rather limiting. (I could be wrong, but
it seems XML-RPC is largely used for PHP because PHP does not come
with its SOAP extension loaded by default while most other platforms
seem to prefer SOAP.)

Yeah, this makes sense to me. Modularisation could be really handy to
keep the code simple and clean.

Sounds very promising; can't wait to see what you guys manage to come
up with. :)
