Agreed, some type of XML-RPC approach is not the way to go.

The XML -RPC is not really a type of query. It is the mechanism for
delivering a query and subsequently, receiving a reponse.
The query mechanism is essentially the most important part of the query.
Several daemons can be run to accept queries on a registry (server)
application. Delivering a query in XML syntax via HTTP as the transport
protocol is a very good way of assuring that you have a 100% O/S and
Platform neutral method for querying a Registry/Repository. Other good
methods also exist. XQI (Xml Query Interface), a method employed by the
GoXML.com XML Search engine is merely a dedicated port on a server that
listens for incoming XML-syntax queries.
You could just as easily run a CGI script to accept HTML form input, a COM
object or any other combo of mechanisms.
Just my $0.02 worth.
