I looked at this a bit today. The problem is I need to provide a single 
API. Data passing in through the XML-RPC interface will end up as a dict 
(the way it is now). If we start using objects in the GUI we end up with 
two APIs.

I'm ok with that but the goal was to provide a single, consistent API. 
But I'm not going to make the change until we all agree on it.
