From a technical standpoint, the new Koha::Service class (http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=12272) does allow authnotrequired to be passed. This doesn't resolve the API design problem, but does solve part of the issue.

There are plans afoot[0] to design a new restful API. The current one is
very inconsistent (some parts use XML, some use JSON, etc.) and it needs
a ground-up redesign. I'd jump in on that noting these sorts of things.
What's there now is staff client focussed, but I think it's important to
think about use cases for the OPAC too.
