I don't know if it needs to be in the spec, but there is nothing wrong with supporting other formats such as plain text and HTML. If somebody points a browser at a RESTful URL, passing them back pure JSON or XML is not doing them any favors.

Again, there doesn't need to be a specified result set for text or HTML, but allowing a server to respond with such when the client wants it seem perfectly reasonable.
