Well, I abbreviated the actual XML. Really:

<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>
<methodResponse>
   <params>
     <param>
       <value>
         <string>
             stuff
         </string>
       </value>
     </param>
   </params>
</methodResponse>

I'm looking at a ruby-debug dump of "data" from the call,  
parser().parseMethodResponse(data). I think it's valid XML-RPC. Sorry  
for the misleading trimming of the response.

Thx
