You might want to look up the relax-ng spec for xmlrpc if you want to add more
formalism / automation to the protocol. Unfortunately using xsd to exactly
define xmlrpc services is impossible, due to limitations in the xsd language

but differently typed).
If you find a wsdl toolkit that groks relax-ng as schema definition language,
you might end up with something usable, but most of them are too
soap-oriented...
