[rest-practices] support for xml in rest api

[Bill Burke]

 From a Java perspective, there are pro's and con's.

* Java has nice tools from which you can generate Java classes from XML 
schema
* JAXB is good if you don't want to extend it with custom functionality
* The Jackson JSON plugin works pretty well, they do have some degree of 
JSON-schema support, but I don't know if they have a code generator.
