Hi TimSki, You might find these notes from the "Web services" discussion at the Naples sprint helpful. http://www.openplans.org/projects/plone-conference-2007/atrest-gsxml
I'm cc'ing Sally Kleinfeldt who was spearheading these efforts. She might be able to steer you in the right direction. And the notes from the Plone4Artists sprint in Boston. http://www.openplans.org/projects/plone4artists-sprint/atrest-notes during which the ATRest product was born.
