I'd be happy to, if people are interested. It's an interesting API - a
secure, stateful protocol using SOAP. It's somewhat hardcore to describe
what's "behind-the-scenes" though; and there's not much to say about how
to use it (it's so easy!)

If people are interested in some hard-core web services stuff, it could
be an interesting topic.
