My impression from working with the XML-RPC API is that some bits and

not all the elements you see in the Web UI are available (yet or
currently).

Those pieces should be reported in Bugzilla. The XML-RPC API is supposed to be feature complete and if it isn't, its not to hard to extend it. The API is not particulary convenient (nor very fast) because of some "issues", but it should be pretty complete from a functional point of view.

I'd recommend looking at a PostgreSQL oriented replication scheme.
http://www.erserver.com/'
http://pgreplicator.sourceforge.net/features.html

I would not recommend that. A row level replication cannot properly deal with conflicts, you definitely need some application level replication and I think at least for basic stuff the XML-RPC API should be just fine.

It isn't very hard to write a replicator script (but hard to explain if you don't understand the basics ;-)
