There are plenty of non-SOAP packages with that tag.  Some are also
tagged protocol::corba, and have nothing to do with web services.
Some web-service packages might be tagged protocol::xmlrpc, if that
tag existed.  And then there's "portmap".

Perhaps we need a good single tag these could all be unified under.
The ::rpc tag might work, but does it belong under devel::?

Or perhaps we need a full set of categories that divide the field up
neatly.  Any suggestions?
