Dug this up somewhere and found it still appropriate as I watch the
dev team I joined recently deal with having to evolve and support the
SOAP/XML-RPC API that they used in the intreest of expediency in the
early days. I winced when I saw it first, but lately have grown somewhat
tired of trying to convince philistines of the errors of their ways - it
tires me out and annoys the philistines.
