Also, not sure if you have seen this - https://github.com/techjoomla/com_apiThis is a much better implementation that the one I spoke about at last year's JAB, do give it a shot.
One thought that I had in mind is that Joomla already supports output formats format=raw, format=json Although these are not really REST friendly and definitely not intended as webservice use, could act as a starting point. That way you can already re-use the existing models.
Another area that would need thought about is the authentication. We should be definitely looking at supporting OAuth, digest, key based login and also plain username/password based login.

It might be an idea to start our own "work"-mailinglist for this working group, for only a limited number of mailinglist-subscribers is interested in details of the subject. And then regularly do an update to the two main mailinglists (this one and the platform's) for the two aspects of the project. I am willing to do the regular reporting to the two main mailing lists.
I think the emphasis of this project at the moment is on the API-side, but consuming webservices in general can of course later be added.
You mean adding web services directly into the existing components?
Ok, so for web service applications we need to start another working group?
I don't think it is handy now to split that up in different working groups; for information can better be bunddled than scattered. I just sketch the road that I will follow (although I would prefer a road to not need a "bandage" first, I unfortunately feel the need to focus on that first); whoever wants to join me on that road is welcome. In the mean time I'd like to keep in touch with people who prefer another road.
