[rt-devel] Thoughts on 2.2

[Marc Hedlund]

+1 to this.  I agree that "massive added complexity" comes to mind when
you look at soap and xml-rpc, but you as an author are insulated from
that, and everyone who digs this type of transaction will expect the
standard.  "Why should I have to write a custom xml document handler for
<language.x> to use the web service interface?", etc.
