The savannah/debiansf projects expressed a need and a want to implement
XMLRPC interfaces. The issue with that, in my opinion is the sheer
number of interfaces that need to be supported.

We need to be able use the type of reflection code that Gopal has been
hacking at, to generate bindings out out C# interfaces. That way people
will use DOTGNU /C# as a interface specification language. Then we can
work on providing multiple transports.

To do that we have to provide an implementation.
And we need to provide some guidelines as to how to create secure
sevices.

I would suggest start by porting the java xmlrpc lib from apache over,
into C#. I have tested XMLrpc in conjunction with the Perl Frontier
lib, 
but the SOAP::Lite now supports XMLRPC:
