I tend to agree, if we can go for a standard protocol, we should. 
However we can't get caught up on a compatibility cross-fire, so to
speak.  If we need to create a new protocol in order to get something
done correctly that's not well done in other ways, then that's what we
need to do.  We can't be afraid to bite the bullet here and create
something new.  But, in the case of something like SOAP and/or XML-RPC,
then we should use the standardized version.
