I wrote a specification for a fairly simple machine interface based on HTTP. It is at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiText_Transfer_Protocol. It is partially inspired by the "raw" action. I encourage you to look at it and add to it.
Any specific comments? I would like to hear some community feedback on this.
