Currently xmlrpc over https, and the payload varies but is usually
just serialized ruby objects.
Future direction is REST-style https, and the payload will vary based
on the content-type headers but will usually be either serialized ruby
objects or exported objects (e.g., converted to json, so they're
language-agnostic).

Pull, from client to server. And the server does not currently have
any way to respond to the client's features, other than including the
client's facts during the compile process.
