Oh nice. I came across JSON Pointer a couple of days ago (whilst working with JSON Schema). It didn't fully make sense at the time, but now you've put it like that, I can see how even that simple (GET-only) extension to your average REST API could be pretty handy for getting at commonly-used properties. I may just implement it as a secret-squirrel feature in the API I'm working on right now.
