Well, IMHO the REST APIs ought to offer such an idea. Typically, I'd expect GET /persons/count.xml to return <count>47</count> or something similar > We shouldn't pursue API parity with AR for the sake of it.

I totally agree with you on this point, however, I believe it would make sense to add as much functionality as possible from AR to ARes. This would make the introduction of a middleware layer more feasible in rails.
