Sorry if this sounds a bit too harsh, but phpxmlrpc is a lib that aims =
to conform to a spec. The spec, albeit sporting quite a few =
shortcomings, has been "cast in stone" (in the wording of its  writer) =
since 1999. A little (much needed) clarification has been added this =
summer, that's all.

I doubt very much anybody would be willing to include custom =
functionality in the default release of the library, since this =
functionality would not be implemented by any other xml-rpc library (and =
there are many of them out there, from php to c++ to whatever you might =
think of).

Of course, any code contribution is welcome by people that have to =
develop both client and server sides of an app and do not care about =
portability.

All in all, if you're woring in .net, you'll be surely better off using =
SOAP. The same probably also applies if you're working with other =
languages but need the kind of extra functionality that xml-rpc misses.

My 2c.
