We implemented something similar for The OpenPhoto Project where every URL a user visits is a visual representation of an API endpoint.

My site, for example, is at http://jmathai.openphoto.me/photos/list. You can add ".json" to the end to see the JSON representation of that page. http://jmathai.openphoto.me/photos/list.json. The same rule applies across the site.

We wrote about it a while back.

this seems like pretty standard REST

It's REST-ish. But the highlight I was hinting at is making the API itself be more discoverable. We did it by mapping the API directly to the web UI such that html just becomes the default format type of the API.
