Ian, the issue is that we need a standard way for the node to pass off the
management of an incoming connection to a plug-in. Strictly speaking it's
unrelated to the points you raised.
At any rate, FCP or XML-RPC is not the most fundamental layer. The most
fundamental layer from the perspective of a plug-in would be the node's
message handling state machine. On top of this I have built an InternalClient
which matches the API for the FNPClient or FCPClient. This is what
plug-ins would use.
