Xtended Markup Language Remote Procedure Call

The TclSOAP package has been expanded to cover XML-RPC as an RPC protocol as well as SOAP. As the two protocols are pretty much identical this should come as no surprise. There is support for providing SOAP and XML-RPC services from tclhttpd and constructing clients by binding tcl procedures to the RPC provided method. See http://tclsoap.sourceforge.net/ for the details.
The XML-RPC subsection of the TclSOAP page is headed by a big banner saying "This code has been superceeded [sic] as of version 1.6" The question is, superseded how, and by what?
PT 29-May-2003: That section covers XML-RPC as a service. Writing client code is simple - but undocumented now that I check. However, it's pretty much the same as SOAP but with less variable types. The validator1.tcl script in the tclsoap samples directory implements a client for the Userland XML-RPC interperability tests. This should provide some help concerning the use of this package.
There's also http://sourceforge.net/projects/xmlrpctcl/ .
SC Just noticed the Wiki RPC interface definition [L1 ] implemented in a few wiki tools.
