Just a thought here - there's a whole discussion about RPC (e.g.
XML-RPC) vs. REST ( have a read at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_State_Transfer ).

Think Dokuwiki is very suited to REST - it would take almost zero
effort to implement it right now - you can already basically send an
HTTP POST to any page to update it. There are some issues like how to
handle locking to be resolved. It would probably also be useful to
have some kind of XML "index" of pages (perhaps used RSS) as an
alternative to the current indexes.
