Sorry, this we missed this page when we sought out all the v1 pages a 
while back.

Pretty much all functions now have the same format. The first argument 
is an array of positional arguments. The second is a struct representing 
the options.

An easy way to see how data is passed to a given command is to pass -vv 
to the ipa command:

$ ipa -vv host-add test.example.com

This will show the XML-RPC request we make.

In the case of a host you can probably get away with just positional 
arguments, I believe all options are, ahem, optional :-)
