Hi...just wanted to know if outgoing XML-RPC support was in the cards?

Don't count on it -- the XML:RPC server is overloaded as it is. Perhaps you should consider using llHTTPRequest -- it's a lot faster (1 request per second per prim) and also can handle sending more data... XML:RPC's limited to ~255 chars, llHTTPRequest is limited at 2048 bytes. XML:RPC's also a PITA to set up on the serverside. llHTTPRequest paired with a PHP/Perl/Python capable server is far more powerful and easy to use. The only real difference is XML:RPC's designed more to wait for data to come in, and respond to it, and HTTPRequest is an outgoing call which can return data. A properly set up email receiver script is more useful, in my opinion, as it's handled by the simulator -- not the Single-Point-of-failure XML:RPC server, which can quickly grind to a halt with so much traffic flowing through it. (plus, llHTTPRequest supports SSL encrypted connections  )

It has been stated by several Lindens that XML-RPC support will most likely be phased out at some point in the future. No specific timeframe was stated, but I think the gist is that it is considered to be "deprecated" internally, which is unfortunate, since there are probably better ways to do it such that it is not such a huge boondoggle.
