[wp-hackers] XML-RPC

[Eric Mann]

I'm not quite sure what you mean here.  RPC stands for Remote Procedure
Call, so really you can make WordPress do just about anything via XML-RPC if
you have the right method calls defined in the API.  How would you want it
to act as a file access mechanism?

We only implement things in core if they have a broad use.  If it's an edge
use case, it's likely better suited for a plugin.
