Notifications & Assigment Rules

Is there any plan to add Notifications & Assigment Rules support to the sforce api? this, from my point of view, is an important feature.

You can now access the assignment rules via the API.  It works for inserts ( not sure about update ).  Its not anywhere in the documentation ( at least that I can find ).  You add a param to the insert call ( where you set the type and session ) called autoAssign=true and it uses the auto assign rules.  I have tested this for cases, not yet for leads but am told it works.

Here is a Java xml rpc code snippet for reference:

Hashtable params = new Hashtable();

params.put( "version", "1.8" );
params.put( "type", "case" );
params.put( "record", hashtable );
params.put( "autoAssign", new Boolean( true ) );

and off you go.

Hope this helps
