The "{ }" syntax is used for objects, not arrays. If you want to make 
"a" an array use "[ ]";
ex:
var a = [];
a[0] = 1.0;
...
or
var a = [ 1.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 ];

You were trying to pass an object. Your code would have actually worked 
(at the XWT end) on nitrogen. The old js engine had some problems with 
using non-strings as keys in an array.

XMLRPC errors don't currently throw JS exceptions so this code doesn't 
do much. It doesn't hurt though, and its probably a good idea to keep 
it because XMLRPC errors will throw exceptions *real soon now*.
