+0, I think.  Having the module available might lead people to make
more services available through XML-RPC.  My misgiving is that XML-RPC
is pretty limited, the lack of support for None being particularly
painful to a Python programmer.  Perhaps, if we can only have one,
SOAP would be better, but I haven't used SOAP seriously for anything
yet.
