We should do as we usually do: set a new context for URIs (/rest/ ?) and implement a RESTfull API there, following all the standards, and versioned from the beggining.
We could use CGI::Application::Dispatch, merge koha-restfull and work on top of that (it should be discussed whether we agree on the current API or not), or even do it with a framework, like Dancer [1]. And then have a clear deprecation path for the old API. Would be happy to work on that if more people were interested.
