You have to accomodate your client code to the server anyway, because
Google's service will use particular methods with particular parameter
lists.  Two different services presumably use two different sets of
methods, so your code has to accomodate each separately.

Pure XML-RPC code is usually just a programming library, which means
it's fairly trivial for someone writing a client program for a
particular server method set to engineer it to an XML-RPC library that
has whatever features the servers in question require.
