No, there is some REST stuff but a) I haven't committed it, and b) it 
completely ignores authentication (for now).  I've used it successfully to 
implement an AJAX Autocomplete mechanism, so far it implements Part and 
customer lookup.

It certanly is possible, and that is the intention of the REST API.

What kind of documents would VTIGER have to GET/POST to the API?  New 
customers?  Query existing customers?  Post sales orders/ Sales invoices?

This also works.  Be mindful that we're adding more stored procedures to 
manipulate the data in the schema in order to ensure data integrity and to 
ensure that future versions of the schema continue to work 3rd party modules.
