There are lots of nice things we could do, given time and people. But
the reality is that relatively few people are actually working on the
API code, documentation, tooling around it.
I would much rather have us deliver a world class JSON API with
validation and schema and comprehensive testing, than the current state
of our JSON + XML approach which is poorly documented and only partially
tested.

Could we get away with XML->JSON then validate the JSON request (and
assume XML parse error also means bad request)?

Just wondering what people thought about how necessary it is to keep XML

during the v2->v3 transition is pretty much the ideal time to do so.
Although I hate XML as much as anyone else, I think it would be
interesting to raise that question on the general user mailing-list.
We have been discussing that in the past, and while there was mostly
consensus against XML (in OpenStack API) on the development list, when
the issue was raised with users, in the end they made up a
sufficiently-good rationale for us to keep it in past versions of the API :)
Yes, and I suspect we'd arrive the same result again.
I'd rather hear ideas for things that would make it easier to support
both. The window is open for changes to make that easier.
