This default 10 limit looks like a bug to me. Even if this was done on
purpose it really does not make any sense from API point of view IMO
and should be removed.
Would be great if you could report it on 
http://jira.xwiki.org.

  I'm using the REST API to get the wiki users as
per the example in
 
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/XWikiRESTfulAPI
 i.e.
 http://<server>/xwiki/rest/wikis/query?q=object:XWiki.XWikiUsers
 This only returns 10 of the users in the wiki database. If I make the call
 using curl, it returns 10 non-hidden users. If I make the call from a
 browser, it returns almost the same set of 10 users except that 2 of them
 are replaced with hidden users.
 I can get around this by adding the start and number parameters to the query
 and then repeating the call incrementing the start parameter until nothing
 is returned.
 This leads to a number of questions.
 1. Is there a way to adjust the default limit of 10 results other than using
 the number parameter?
 2. Is there a way to get the count of the total number of users using the
 REST API?
 3. Is there an explanation for the different behaviour between curl and the
 browser? Which behaviour should I expect if making the call from another
 application (eg. Rails)?
 4. Is there a more elegant way to get all of the users through the API?
 5. Is this documented somewhere that I've missed or would it be useful to
 add a comment to the RESTful API page?
 6. Niggly point regarding the REST API page. In some places, the start
 parameter is labeled as 'n' and in others as 'offset'. I assume this is
 perhaps an artefact of updates by different authors. Should it really be
 'offset' everywhere or is the distinction intentional?
