REST API currently responds to requests for text/html, application/xml and application/json. The text/html output:
* is very simple, does not correspond to any formal HTML standard
* is not created systematically, only by concatenating strings
* doesn't contain all the information returned by the other types, therefore it's nearly useless
* is the only type which can be accessed via a web browser (this use case is useful for debugging)
* accented characters are rendered incorrectly via a browser because no encoding is declared
Therefore I suggest we change the text/html output in a similar way as we currently use in the OAI interface - if text/html is requested, we'll respond with the XML output (same when application/xml is requested) and provide a client-side XSLT stylesheet to render it into HTML: <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="" />
Using a stylesheet will allow us to:
* render any and all data provided by REST API
* make it easier to produce valid HTML
* make it possible to get the full XML response from a web browser for debugging purposes (instead of the hassle of using another user agent)
* simplify the REST API code by getting rid of one of the output formats
* make it possible to change the presentation without touching Java code
