What about the "Unified Schema XML API"? It's XML but it's not SOAP; the 
XML formats look pretty straightforward. They have a lot of fields but 
the structure is pretty simple.

?? I don't know what important doodad you are worried about here...REST 
just means that you make requests using ordinary HTTP requests such as 
GET. The request parameters are part of the query, as opposed to SOAP 
for example where the query parameters are in an XML payload included 
with the request.

Hmm...the REST API seems to only support one call, GetSearchResults, so 
that won't be very useful to you.

I hope I'm not way off base here, I'm just doing a little Googling 
myself, I don't have any actual experience with this stuff...
