Assuming your talking about the Virtual Remote Server
project that's recently surfaced, I think making that
possible depends on these items:

But even more specificly, those webservices would need
to run as callable components, and they would need to
be packaged into 'Datasets'.  A 'Dataset' is a
self-contained object, holding both data and
executable methods.  It's stored and retrieved as a
single file.

I mentioned earlier that the system will not do
dynamic, script-based services.  Chris Smith has
pointed out a possible way of doing this where a VRS
component acts as a proxy to a traditional server
running in the normal manner.  This may serve to hide
the location of the host 'script server' if that's an
issue.  But other things being equal, you'd probably
be better off just going directly to the host server
in the first place.

Assuming that Savannah is transmorgified into an RPC
based thing, in what manner would a user access it?  
RPC components are for program-to-program interface,
not human-to-program.  Some kind of client like GUI
front-end would be needed.  That's the one nifty thing
the browser does for the WWW, the universal User
Interface.
