Oh, speaking of client side, have the API between the server and the
client documented so that different front ends can be put in.  Let
say, I wanted to call open-vas from Perl, or Python, or whatever.

You want wide eye dreaming?  Build a front end client that will allow
you to disconnect from the session, and then reconnect later.  Or
better yet, a client that allows you to disconnect and run background,
and then can run a arbitrary command (like send email) when the scan
is complete :-).   And then you run the client again and it reconnect
right where you left off.  Yeah I'm a dreamer, but you asked :-).
