Oh, that's cool!  The naming "RPC" threw me off.  I knew that was there, but I guess my assumptions (I know , bad) were that it communicated over a different protocol, not using port 80.  But, I suppose, tcp over port 80, spewing out xml is good.  Probably just what I need.  I'll look into that and get a better understanding.  Thanks Chris.

We've had this built in to Zope for a long time in the form of XML-
RPC.  There are several JavaScript libraries that implement an XML-
RPC client, the best in my recollection being vcXMLRPC.
