Nope, I missed it because I was looking for a SOAP in views. :-)

Just so I think I understand how it works...the example is a little 
think on the various options...

   * load the XMRPC plugin
   * set an entrypoint listener via $c->xmlrpc
   * RPC calls to a somemethod get sent to somemethod : Remote

I assume that the entrypoint takes care of sending the data back to the 
client, bypassing all view handlers in end.

Back to yesterdays conversation...from the looks of this plugin, you CAN 
add custom attributes. I would think a SOAP plugin should NOT use the 
same attribute of Remote...that might cause a clash if you wanted to use 
both XMLRPC and SOAP in the same app.

Thanks,
