SOAP-less web services for simple clients

Sadly this doesn't work for Alex over at JoinIn, but some time back I wrote some guidelines on creating a SOAP-less version of the IMS Enterprise Services spec for basic read access to people and group information, particularly for use with clients that either don't support SOAP or where coding for it is a pain and you can't use the SDK.

I'm sure this could be extended to a full ReST binding, but as it stands its basically the same as SRU.
