I really like the idea of XMLRPC or SOAP for actions but I think that we need 
something different for events.  We could use these methods for events but it 
would require a way to register for events from the asterisk manager.    A 
true publish/subscribe middleware would be great but I don't think it would 
be wise in the asterisk core.  What we are currently using is a stripped down 
IRC server and our clients join a channel to receive events and send a "/msg" 
to the asterisk server for actions.   This gives us a way to listen for 
events but also have the one to one action transactions with the manager.  I 
would suggest that we look at http://www.spread.org/ as a possible solution 
for manager communication.
