This "API over HTTP" stuff is something I've been noodling on for awhile. If you've got some suggestions for, I don't know, "RPC over HTTP" or just exposing typical library calls over HTTP (neither involving SOAP, please, dear $DEITY...) I'd personally be interested in reading them. And as I write this and think on it a bit more, I'm realizing that 'serializing' APIs over HTTP probably isn't the best idea in the world. But it makes things "easier" - firewalls don't need configuration to let your customers access your remote API, HTTP traffic tends toward human-readable text, etc.
