The API is mainly for document management, but developers needs/wants will drive feature requests. Also, I may have been unclear...
You _can_ use the API to read the contents of documents. My example doesn't show how to do that. It only shows finding the necessary URL. Just perform an HTTP GET on that URL and you're in business. Reading the contents isn't built directly into the Java client lib b/c of issue 35.
