Unfrotuantely, XMLRPC is not nearly powerful enough.  I need to send
basically arbitrarily complex data structures back and forth.  It doesn't
have name/value pairs, or attributes, etc.  So, XML-RPC isn't very
attractive thing to build on for clusters...

I'll see if I can come up with an example that I *know* I'll have to deal
with in configuring Stonith modules...
