Json-rpc it's what you get anyway most of the time since very few have a clue of what rest is. Not that is a bad design by itself, many of them are concise and workable without being rest.

What I am concerned mostly is the added overhead of fitting everything under a single standard. Sometime you need state aware api, sometime you need data retrieval api, sometime you need to expose a remote interface to constraint manipulating objects with server side rules.

Why it all has to be a standard escapes me. You mostly get absurdly convoluted operation when you try to fit one model under another.
