the reason xml-rpc isn't an option is security. the reason soap isn't an option 
is speed. all of the communication in my apps would be using OpenSSL to encrypt 
all traffic, so many of the other protocols aren't suitable solutions. i fear 
that an abstraction / rewrite may be in order. of course, i could be wrong since 
my (working) knowledge of xml-rpc and soap are limited, but i'm not crazy about 
the technical specifications of either one.

that said, thanks for the help anyway as i will still consider these two methods 
as an alternative.
