Just an update:

I've started building the API service using Darcy Laycock's newly released 
RocketPants gem: https://github.com/filtersquad/rocket_pants Which works 
pretty well, but unfortunately using his API Smith 
(https://github.com/filtersquad/api_smith) as the client isn't as easy as 
using ActiveResource given the relatively simple RESTful URL structure of 
the systems.

So, I've now switched to using RocketPants (for versioning and error 
handling) + ActiveResource + InheritedResources - works pretty well so far. 
:)
