You missed rabbitmqadmin :-) EasyNetQ and I think Spring-AMQP both have 
support for it too. There are quite a lot of things like nagios plugins. 
There are probably a ton of little unpublished bash-and-curl scripts out 
there too.

Telling all these people "Oh, hey, we just decided to speak a sui 
generis non-standard version of JSON. And URLs." is... not top of my 
list of things to do.

Cheers, Simon
