I really think that the API WG should be responsible for the REST API only, TBH, and maybe for the Pythonic APIs. Once we start talking about CLI options, I think that's outside the API WG's perview, and we probably should have that be up to CLI authors. My thinking is that a REST API and a Python API are both used by developers, where we have one set of conventions; but when you start talking about CLI, you're really talking about UX, and the rules there can be vastly different. Now, my personal preference on the CLI side is that "--sort key[:dir]" is the way to go, but I helped hash that out in the novaclient implementation as a reviewer. I also had suggestions about how it should be transmitted in the REST API, but that had already been settled at the blueprint phase; that may be something the API WG will want to take up and review and provide guidance on now, though… -- Kevin L.
