It looks like the response structure of the BBC API is based on that of the Flickr API. I've also seen this format used in the Zoomin places/groups API.

Googling for rsp stat ok standard rest format reveals a couple more apps using the same format.

I was thinking about using this format for the REST/XML version of the PeopleAggregator API, but I had decided against it because it would be inconsistent with the XML-RPC and REST/JSON versions. But now that it seems that everyone else is using it, I guess I should reconsider :-)
