NO! xml-rpc is nice since it requires no additional libraries, and it can 
offer connectivity for platforms where libpq does not compile (are there 
such?)
However, authentication is tricky and performance is mediocre, so for 99% of 
our clients we will directly access postgres via libq based interfaces 
(pyPgSQl in the case of Python)

I am working on another function that will allow submitting names to the 
interaction search engine.
