I don't think central API registries are the the long term future of APIs (despite the fact that I bought apinest.com with half a mind to setting one up :). At some point we are going to move to self-describing APIs, documented at source. Check out the http://restfulobjects.org/ http://restfulobjects.org/ spec for ideas on how this will work.

Which would be great. We strongly believe that self-describing hypermedia APIs are the future, hopefully sooner or later we'll be able to focus more on the experience (buying/tracking/monitoring/bug tracking) and less on supporting thousands different formats/descriptions. Unfortunately it's still a super-fragmented market.
