[Pulp-list] Documenting REST APIs

When documenting REST APIs, please use the client's ability to log the 
REST calls and copy/paste the actual body. Sample responses like...

[
  {
    "consumer_id":"A consumer ID",
    "repo_id":"A repository ID",
    "distributor_id":"A repostory distributor ID",
    "distributor":"A distributor object"
  },
]

... kinda defeat the whole purpose of a sample response since it doesn't 
actually show what the distributor object looks like.

Additionally, please double check spelling while you're at it 
("repostory" in line three of that sample) :)
