Two comments here:

* XML is hardly simple. I don't want to be tied to having XML in an 
image just to be able to communicate with an external repository.
And the amount of code required to support XML/RPC (or SOAP or 
whatever) is not trivial.

* Most people don't have their Apache servers set up for XML/RPC.

* Why would XML/RPC (presumably over HTTP) to another Squeak be better 
than HTTP PUT or POST to another Squeak?
