Resource-oriented is one way to say it. The mapping from MVC looks something
like this:

M -> Resource
V -> Representation (could be any of HTML, XML, JSON, etc.)
C -> Route/Handler, meaning a single URI for a given resource,
differentiating by means of HTTP verb and Accept headers. The Handler aspect
would handle generating responses for the given verb.

That's perhaps more REST than resource-oriented, but REST is the ideal.

Or you could just call it SOA and serve up any sort of half-breed web
service. ;)
