I haven't played with REST, but I also second the "not SOAP" notion.
Things can get quite hairy and ugly with SOAP when using a client and
server not written by the same finger of the same programmer of the same
vendor.

My recommendation is for XML-RPC, but I've heard good stuff about REST
as well.
