Any chance of a peek at the code :)
Yep, it's nothing very special: http://london.openguides.org/api.txt

Also, what do you see as the benefits of REST over plain vanilla CGI?
Actually, from what I've just been reading our existing CGI was pretty much REST already. I think I should have titled my post "cleaner URLs".
A side-effect of this - as pointed out by Jody on IRC - is that it creates a class of reserved words that can't be page names ('rdf', 'userstats', etc., and just numbers). I don't see this as a huge problem, though.
