Use REST for reading, but RPC-style calls for writing. Benefits:

1. Every write-call is a transaction

2. You can have complex filtering and sorting in the read/access side of your API without having to worrying about the update-side of things.

3. You can evolve the read-API, even change semantics and return different objects and again, not worry about transactions.

4. You are not limited to the HTTP-standard.
