Please could I push for an answer on this?  The answer could be that:

* You're uninterested in these kind of features.

* You're unconvinced that this is a good idea, but would think about it
  more if given a full design for how it would work.

* Adding an xml-rpc backend to allow changes from other clients already
  sounds like a good idea, and you'd probably merge it if the code
  quality is high.

(There's already a django-xmlrpc¹ project out there that might help.)

Any hints as to which of these is closest to the truth?  Thanks,

- Chris.
