	you're probably right. my patch works well for me, but if someone add
functionality you mentioned, i'll be glad. :)

	hmm, i read that at http://www.xmlrpc.org/spec/ :

# What characters are allowed in strings? Non-printable characters? Nul=
l
characters? Can a "string" be used to hold an arbitrary chunk of binary
data?

Any characters are allowed in a string except < and &, which are encode=
d
as &lt; and &amp;. A string can be used to encode binary data.

so maybe we a reading different specs for one protocol :]
