Maybe I am confused here, but I don't see how it is irrelevant. I want to use Xindice as an embedded database, not access it through a network API of some kind whether it is XML-RPC or not. I think it is great that Xindice will support XML-RPC in the future, but I would really prefer it to be optional.
