If it's WSDL it has to be SOAP rather than XML-RPC, doesn't it?  
Otherwise, I agree, except that I think we shouldn't wait until things

got the interfaces right.  Polishing the schema, by the way, is bug 200837:

Now that bbaetz' authorization modularization patch has gone in, I think 
this is fixed.
