Thanks, this is interesting and will provoke further thought and elaboration.
In general, should it be assumed that a request is referring to a specific atomspace that has already been instantiated and populated? Some calls implicitly assume that there is a populated atomspace that will be used as the context to form a response, while other functions can produce their response based solely on their inputs. For instance, some calls have a "dataset" parameter that is passed as part of the request, whereas other calls necessitate that a remote state already exists. And, some calls have a "situation" parameter, which could either be a fully specified situation, or an encapsulation of a situation by some token. Also, should the response contain the recursive information necessary to be usable in a standalone manner, or would it generally require additional requests to the API to assemble related information about the entities contained in it?
