You can allow anonymous comments using wp.newComment using the
xmlrpc_allow_anonymous_comments filter. wp.editComment does not currently
support the editing of user_id. Check out the source at
wp-includes/class-wp-xmlrpc-server.php.

You may want to direct XML-RPC questions to that list in the future:
