Hey, calm down. Less of the "why the hell", please.

The reason Potlatch 1 can undelete is because I wrote the undelete code. The
reason it isn't exposed via the XML API is that I don't know the first thing
about XML, or Rails, or tying the two together, and I would probably have
broken the entire server if I'd tried. The reason that there isn't any
undelete functionality available via the XML API is... well, that neither
you nor anyone else has coded it, I guess?

cheers
Richard
