SOAP is not a dirty word (pun intended). I think it's a superb idea :-)
 
It would certainly make integration scenarios more easily achievable.

Hi All, 

I've been looking over some posts on the mailing archives about why
can't myth gui do X, why can't I run myth in Y situation and I wanted to
run an idea past the dev list.  It seems that gui and plugin development
would go significantly faster and be more open with a rpc service layer
for myth.  Probably, for simplicity of coding against, a SOAP service
(yes, I know the reaction that word brings, but for ease of programming
against and client independence it really does win).  How would everyone
feel about starting a MythSOAP layer that provided standard we services
for the majority of the gui operations?  That way if people want to code
their own gui website, thin client, automated system, sms based system
etc etc they could.  By opening up the use cases this way, I think you
would allow significant innovation on the application interraction side
of things.

What's everyeone think? 

Cheers 
Adam
