Just try it out:

In [8]: import xmlrpclib

In [9]: a = xmlrpclib.dumps(('hello world',))

In [10]: len(a)
Out[10]: 80

In [11]: print a
<params>
<param>
<value><string>hello world</string></value>
</param>
</params>

Even with some additional boilerplate like XML declaration etc. there is
still a little bit room until 10 kB are reached.  :-)

LOL - so  one could say it was a bit of an exaggeration...

Thanks - Hendrik
