Actually, CDATA were my next tip. Your post explained to me that XML-RPC uses just the <string>'s node value and not everything below it. In the later case, one would put both string (of course escaped) and/or sub-tree nodes.

I've just begun to play with XML-RPC, to evolve our HTTP/POST methods to so-called "web service" ;) Since, it worked well posting simple XMLs I try to avoid the more complicated SOAP thing. However, WSDL also required..

Thanks for your explanation!
