I second the SOAP choice. My thought as a simple start would be just to 
expose methods like speak, run_voice_cmd, set value, get value, etc. 
just so that we could get some basic interaction with a minimum amount 
of work. This would allow essentially the same level of interaction that 
you could have with as with the web-client. Quite simple, yet I think it 
would provide enough functionality to do most that is necessary.

That would settle the calls into MH, but what about calls from MH? Event 
based triggers type of thing? I'm looking into something like this for 
one of my personal little learning projects. Would we want to be able to 
set MH up to notify another system whenever an object/state is modified. 
Not just every object, but possibly have the other system register which 
objects it wants to listen to. Just thinking out loud....
