/**
 * <p>The GSXMLRPC class provides methods for constructing and parsing
 * XMLRPC method call and response documents ... so that calls may
 * be constructed of standard objects.
 * </p>
 * <p>The correspondence between XMLRPC values and Objective-C objects
 * is as follows -
 * </p>
 * <list>
 *   <item><strong>i4</strong> (or <em>int</em>) is an [NSNumber] other
 *   than a real/float or boolean.</item>
 *   <item><strong>boolean</strong> is an [NSNumber] created as a BOOL.</item>
 *   <item><strong>string</strong> is an [NSString] object.</item>
 *   <item><strong>double</strong> is an [NSNumber] created as a float or
 *   double.</item>
 *   <item><strong>dateTime.iso8601</strong> is an [NSDate] object.</item>
 *   <item><strong>base64</strong> is an [NSData] object.</item>
 *   <item><strong>array</strong> is an [NSArray] object.</item>
 *   <item><strong>struct</strong> is an [NSDictionary] object.</item>
 * </list>
 * <p>If you attempt to use any other type of object in the construction
 * of an XMLRPC document, the [NSObject-description] method of that
 * object will be used to create a striong, and the resulting object
 * will be encoded as an XMLRPC <em>string</em> element.
 * </p>
 * <p>In particular, the names of members in a <em>struct</em> must be strings,
 * so if you provide an [NSDictionary] object to represent a <em>struct</em>
 * the keys of the dictionary will be converted to strings if necessary.
 * </p>
 * <p>The class also provides a method for making a synchronous XMLRPC
 * method call (with timeout), or an asynchronous call in which the
 * call completion is handled by a delegate.
 * </p>
 * <p>You may also use the class to implement an XMLRPC server, by calling
 * the -parseMethod:params: method to parse the data POSTed to your server,
 * and -buildResponseWithParams: (or -buildResponseWithFaultCode:andString:)
 * to produce the data to be sent back to the client.
 * </p>
 * <p>In order to simply make a synchronous XMLRPC call to a server, all
 * you need to do is write code like:
 * </p>
 * <example>
 *   GSXMLRPC	*server = [[GSXMLRPC alloc] initWithURL: @"http://server/path"];
 *   id		result = [server makeMethodCall: name params: p timeout: 30];
 * </example>
 * <p>Saying that you want to call the specified method ('name') on  the server,
 * passing the parameters ('p') and with a 30 second timeout.<br />
 * If there is a network or http-level error or a timeout, the result will be
 * an error string, otherwise it will be an array (on success) or a dictionary
 * containing the fault details.
 * </p>
