Other question:
Why use the plural when retrieving a single instance.
For example:
/spaces --> All spaces
/space/{space} --> One space
Ah just saw you changed that but not everywhere.
Like classes/{class} should be class/{class}
And pages/{page} should be page/{page}
no?
Re nested spaces the best is probably to define a delimiter other than
"/"
Something like:
/space/this::is::nested/page/WebHome
Of course this would mean that "::" is not allowed in space names.
BTW this would also means that "/" is not allowed in space names.

Ok. I saw what you meant.
I modified a bit the resources to remove the inconsistency.
I did this because attachments have also their own versioning.
So you can access a specific version of an attachment either by
requesting an attachment at a given page version
or by requesting an specific version of an attachment.
To be consistent I only left the resources for referring to an
attachment starting for a given page version:
/space/{space}/pages/{page}/attachments
/space/{space}/pages/{page}/attachments/{attachment}
/space/{space}/pages/{page}/{version}/attachments/
/space/{space}/pages/{page}/{version}/attachments/{attachment}
I still maintained the non-verbose version but that can be changed if
there is not an agreement on it.
However it might be still useful to expose attachment resources by
using
their own versioning:
/space/{space}/pages/{page}/attachments/{attachment}/history
/space/{space}/pages/{page}/attachments/{attachment}/{version}
Thanks.
