Ugh, holy hacking batman. The more XMLRPC gets put to the test, the more is shows just how weak it really is. It's only based on simple well-formed XML, so that's as far as it can go without hacking things like this:

If you wish to transmit an element that is part of a namespace include a sub-struct in the struct passed to newPost and editPost whose name is the URL that specifies the namespace. The sub-element(s) of the struct are the value(s) from the namespace that you wish to transmit.

Wow... nasty. :\\

This would be an absolute XML no-brainer in SOAP. Perhaps it's time to work on a SOAP based weblogging API.
