Sorry to be overwhelming. I guess the main thing I wanted to
communicate is that you could simply add:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/json"
href="http://openlibrary.org/api/get?key=/b/{open-library-id}" />
to the <head> element in OpenLibrary HTML pages for books, and that
would go a long way to making machine readable data for books
discoverable by web clients.
