Comment (by rofflox):

 I've already played around with this. In my opinion, the whole wp-xmlrpc-
 server class should be overhauled.

 For example:

 1. Create a generic wp_getPost / wp_newPost / wp_deletePost / wp_editPost
 2. The output of the functions should be more or less the same as in the
 default functions. E.g. title => post_title, postid => ID etc.
 3. For backwards compatibility:
   a. Create all sub functions e.g. mw_getPost with link to the generic
 wp_getPost
   a. Add an optional second parameter "mode" to format the output based on
 the calling function. E.g. mode = mw_getPost will format the output of the
 result array in a different way.
 4. Take an associative array instead of a numeric one as argument, so we
 could seamless add additional features in the future. Thats already WP
 standard.

 I've added a working example for wp_getPost, wp_getPosts and wp_getPage in
 the diff. Maybe someone could check if this is a good approach and give
 feedback.
