Yep, as any other RPC is.

REST is enabling a web-command-line style applications and is simple, the
flexibility is
limited to your URI to code decoding strategy - from simple case style
callbacks to
treating it as a module language(in plt speak)

XML RPC helps with having well-defined and documented, heavier web-services

SOAP+friends are the elephant herd of the bunch, can be useful in large
deployments, especially
with web-service discovery. In the past I found it easier to implement my
own discovery mechanisms
suitable for the problem domain, but I never had to integrate those to an
existing infrastructure, so I might
have been lucky.
