I did it this way so you could write your own hammiecli in <your
favorite language> as nothing more than an XML-RPC call.  So like, <your
favorite MTA> could easily integrate hammie checking, without having to
know how to tokenize.  And as I pointed out in another message, you can
call the .score() method if you don't want the whole message back.  I
wrote hammiecli to run from my .procmailrc.

That makes sense too.  It depends on how you're going to use the thing,
I guess.  So I'll make .score() and .filter() accept a tokenized list as
well as a string.  Then you can call me the Burger King, 'cause you can
Have It Your Way.  :^)
