Shucks. I would like to revamp the web service system in
4.8/.9/whatever then. It seems strange to me to keep the xmlrpc.php
file around since everything else is dynamic. I would like to see a
layer that separates the web service protocol (XMLRPC, REST, SOAP,
etc) from the functionality.

I like how you can access flickr's api in a variety of different ways.
Would like to see that in Drupal as well.

Ben.
