While XMLRPC is probably the most language-interoperable of the *RPC's, in my 
experience it's pretty slow compared to native serializtion methods (like 
pickle or PB).  FYI, I'm talking about the XML-to-Python-object conversion 
itself here, not server design.

Would a (perhaps optional) PB interface, in *addition* to XMLRPC be 
reasonable?  In my case, I'd be accessing NXLucene from a (non-zope) python 
client.

Heck, you could probably add JSON-RPC w/o too much effort (half serious). ;)
