OK, that's what I originally understood also, just checking.

I don't have any particular interest in JSON, that was just an example.  If 
you do get into implementing it...

             if (fs.headers.has_key('content-type') and
                 'text/xml' in fs.headers['content-type'] and
                 method == 'POST'):
                 # Ye haaa, XML-RPC!

Maybe some of the coupling such as this stuff from HTTPRequest#processInputs 
could be factored out so the request is processed with an intercepting filter 
pattern.

Each member of the chain would be given an opportunity to analyze the request, 
and the first one to halt the chain handles the marshaling.  This way we could 
plug in JSON or whatever else comes along by registering a new one with obob.
