Weeeellll... that depends on how you approach the question. :-) As 
implemented in KDE, xmlrpc *is* complementary to DCOP so you can approach it 
that way.  However, you can also very easily decide to compare and contrast 
the two protocols in general as they both have their own pros and cons.

I can provide more info on the pros and cons IFF that is the tack taken...
