For authentication of client, you need two-way SSL, so not that straightforward. That being said, I don't know much about REST, so i'll definitely read up on it.

Too much fluff. And although most services offer an XML interface, some also offer a <a href="http://json.org/" rel="nofollow">Json</a> interface, which is much more concise and easier to use in most languages. Regarding REST security: how about SSL? That's the way popular services with a REST API do it. <a href="http://del.icio.us/help/api/" rel="nofollow">Del.icio.us</a> for example. Or you send the credentials using simple HTTP-based authentication. Regarding integration: maybe it'll take some more time to integrate REST services since they all use a different way of approaching the services (different XML schema for example), but like I said: I prefer REST over SOAP.
