I agree completely. However, there are loads and loads and loads of
XML-RPC implementations for practically every language going, and
there's pretty darn near all open source of some description. It is
difficult to implement XML-RPC yourself (although at least two people
on this list have done it; Simon in PHP, and me in ASP, and if I can do
it it can't be that hard :)). It is pretty easy to just include someone
else's library.
