So any libraries built to implement xml-rpc are probably pretty stable,
ie. they won't be changing to comply with a changing spec. Thanks for
clarifying that.

My next question will probably result in subjective responses but I'll
ask it anyway: Is XML-RPC still a viable/reasonable solution for
client/server communication or has it been replaced by something new and
better?

Obviously SOAP is the follow on to xml-rpc but we like the simplicity of
xml-rpc and it appears to satisfy our requirements. Is there anything
else we should be looking at in the xml-rpc'ish realm?
