Python supports XML-RPC out of the box.  Using that code will remove 5k 
lines of code from Xend.
With Python, all you have to do is register functions with the XML-RPC 
handler and use a proxy object.  We won't have to write any XML code at 
all.  I'm quite indifferent to XML/S-Expressions actually.  It's just 
about simplifying things.
