Comment (by mdawaffe):

 We should be checking
 {{{
 current_user_can( 'edit_user', $user_id )
 }}}

 instead of
 {{{
 current_user_can( 'edit_users' )
 }}}

 where appropriate.  The same goes for {{{delete_user}}}.

 I also think we should be explicitly casting all input:

 {{{
 $username       = (string) $args[1];
 // ...
 $user_data['display_name'] = (string) $content_struct['display_name'];
 }}}

 but that's a general issue with all our XML-RPC methods.

 It's strange that {{{wp.editUser}}} accepts user_contacts input, but
 {{{wp.newUser}}} does not.

 The post endpoints provide post meta get/set.  It'd be cool if the user
 endpoints provided user meta get/set as well.
