Hopefully before long we'll have a good replacement for XMLSERVICE.

It served its purpose but was always a hack job (in the best sense of the word). Ranger did a fantastic job getting it running - but his coding style is "somewhat unique" and that makes it difficult for others to maintain/enhance it. I tied to make s few changes some years ago and spent so much more time scratching my head than coding that in the end I gave up.

With any luck in the replacement we can dump (at least optionally) the XML aspect. It is overkill for the purpose and adds a level of complexity.
