I can understand this in principal, but methods that return simple integers fail. I'd expect xmlrpc to be able to handle them.

It does.

Also some of the articles in the Byte series talk about passing structures back and forth so I assumed that the xmlrpc support was smart enought to do things like pack a list of ids (i.e. list of strings) as an XML structure on its own.

It does this also. DTML Method 'rpc': <dtml-return "5"> In Python: Py$ import xmlrpclib Py$ x = xmlrpclib.Server('http://korak:13080/') Py$ x.rpc() 5 Py$
