[ale] Implementing XML-RPC

[Christopher Fowler]

Some of my procedures will return XML data.  Does this need to be
encoded in some way?

If my server responds with:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<methodResponse>
    <params>
         <param>
             <value><string>....</string></value>
         </param>
    </params>
</methodResponse>

The .... as the string will actually be a bunch of XML.  So you can
say that it is xml encapsulated in XML.
