;-)  The X is always easy to mold into anything.

Also RMI-II, RMI-2, RMI-NG, ... just other suggestions

Thanks to Marcus that put instrumentation in Cocoon and made me take a 
deep look at how it's done, since I am working on making a debugger.

Also Xindice uses now XMLRPC for transport, I suggested Gianugo about

what could be done?

Not really decided. ATM we are focusing on Avalon framework and 
derivatives (impls), EOB is not (yet?) in the picture.

Nope. Let's see what others think.
