REST + microformats as a Bugzilla API

The enduring popularity of REST, coupled with the growing popularity of
microformats, suggests to me that the most developer-, user-, and web-
friendly way for us to build an API for Bugzilla is to integrate it with
the app's existing user-focused mechanisms for requesting and retrieving
information.
In other words, use REST for RPC, and return data-only responses when
appropriate, but structure our HTML responses with embedded metadata (à
la microformats) so clients can cleanly extract data from them.
Thoughts?
