Eventually we intend to offer business logic level access to
GnuMed by means of XML-RPC services (unless something clearly better is
presented when actual implementation starts). We wouldn't be
offering access to the business classes directly but rather
would the business classes become a lot leaner (their
functionality moved into the service server serving the
XML-RPC) and that server would use the logic now in the
business classes to connect to the backend.

This would be roughly the same as moving the business class
call API from the Python internal space into RPC space via XML.
