1) regarding SQLXML

If I understand correctly, is that yet another way to communicate using
XML, next to SOAP and XML-RPC ? XML-RPC support is somewhat
functional (cfr. blogger API for instance), SOAP support is rudimentary
but perhaps it might make sense adding SQLXML support as well
someday ?

2) about retrieving an article by title

I'm not sure why you could have the title available but not the aid.
After all, even with syndication, you can retrieve the aid from the
URL if necessary.

Anyway, there's no separate API function to retrieve an article aid
by title at the moment (no need for it), but you could use the generic
search function if you want. Or if you really need that functionality
for [whatever], you can always add another API function in there :-)
