[wp-xmlrpc] metaWeblog.getCategories, not returning struct of structs, problem?

[Joseph Scott]

We've got a ticket from earlier this year about  
metaWeblog.getCategories:

	http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3994

The complaint is that we aren't following the spec:

	http://www.xmlrpc.com/metaWeblogApi

which says that it shall return a struct of structs.  I've confirmed  
that what WP does in return an array of structs, which is what the  
author of the ticket wants changed.

I've not been approached by any client vendors to change this to  
match the standard, indeed this ticket is the only mention that I've  
seen of it.  Dougal may have some history to add to this though.

Are any of the XML-RPC vendors that work with WordPress concerned  
about this?  Given the sometimes fragile of these types of things  
that have been around for awhile I'm inclined to leave things they  
way they are and close this ticket.
