Those pieces should be reported in Bugzilla. The XML-RPC API is 
supposed to be feature complete and if it isn't, its not to hard to 
extend it.
The API is not particulary convenient (nor very fast) because of some 
"issues", but it should be pretty complete from a functional point of 
view.

I would not recommend that. A row level replication cannot properly 
deal with conflicts, you definitely need some application level 
replication and I think at least for basic stuff the XML-RPC API should 
be just fine.

It isn't very hard to write a replicator script (but hard to explain if 
you don't understand the basics ;-)
