You're welcome. Nice to see it's re-used.
I look at the on-line demonstration at:
and it seems the feature is indeed quite powerful. Some suggestions:
- In the test form, descriptions for the parameters would be nice
- In the test form, ask for the individual values instead of asking
the user to manually write an XML-RPC request. This helps the user a
lot, I believe.
For an example, see:

JSON-RPC is new to me. I've had a quick look and it looks simple and
powerful. However, I need to have a closer look at it.
Have you considered supporting POX-RPC (previously called "REST-RPC")
as well? That's the protocol XINS uses. It's extremely simple, with
HTTP parameters as input and a simple XML document as output.
