Support for XML in RESTful Service
Allow Glance to return the response of GET/PUT/POST etc as XML rather than JSON if the request header has 'application/xml'
This is interesting for some languages such as Flex ActionScript (E4X) and Java JAXB that have powerful tools for parsing XML, even though the downside is that it is not very human readable and requires more bandwidth to send the same information.

Whiteboard
Hey James, so I'm going to approve the direction of this blueprint given our discussion with folks on the mailing list, and target it for the Diablo timeframe. Not sure if gzip compression should be in this particular blueprint (we can make a sub-task for that specifically).
As for the milestone to target, I'm not quite sure. In D2, I'm going to be pretty focused on integrating Glance with the Keystone API for authentication/
