Okay first look here: http://minddog.shacknet.nu:8080/wstest.dgmx
Then here:	               http://minddog.shacknet.nu:8080/wstest.dgmx?xml
We don't have rdf finished yet... but would be 
http://minddog.shacknet.nu:8080/wstest.dgmx?rdf

What you are looking at is a webservice's documentation to its xmlrpc 
interface.  All you need to write a client =)

It's searchable by google too.  I've seen googlebot in my logs.  This could be 
perfect for XWT too.  Just make sure the apache module generates the 
documentation for a browser(googlebot or konqueror).  What you can do is 
include an rdf description file inside your xwars to read from and generate 
the documentation.  

A little extra usefulness would be to setup a nomenclature for all 
webservices, xwt or dgee.  We could build a simple xml language for this and 
generate the rdf from that.

<webservice-description>
	<application 
		name="HotEmail"
		keywords="email:hot:webservice:mail:morekeywords"
		...
	/>
	<...
	/>
</webservice-description>

That is another 2cents from me =)

So make that a total of 4cents.
Hope that helps.
