This is good news, look forward to seeing the API getting some love.
One suggestion on top of the other already posted, Assets API could do with a timestamp in the data showing when the data was generated, so if you've got a cached version then you can tell how stale it is. |

If the Kill API is getting some changes, then...
Linkable kills in chat (e.g. dragged from combat log or war reports), when you copy them, have some sort of unique ID on the end, presumably so you don't go iterating through random kill IDs and trying to link them.
e.g.
url=killReport:29418534:4b541062e4aae5c045f54013a6b7f6d1f3688140
That ID should be included in the KillLog API, so that if a site has received the kill from the API and wants to make it public, it can be linked in the IGB.
It'd then also need a CCPEVE.showKillReport function adding too, taking those two parameters, since there doesn't seem to be one in the first place.
Then from a killmaill site open in the IGB, you can open up the in-game kill report to see the details of the kill.

Why even bother this dead horse of an API?
Because this dead horse of an API has a big advantage - it actually exists, and has done for years.
Despite its ugly warts and rough edges, it pretty much does its job as a read-only interface, and hundreds of developers have worked on tools that use it that thousands of people use; not just the public projects like EVEMon, EVEKill/zKill, EFT, Pyfa, IPH, EVEMeep and so on, but all the private player, corp and alliance projects that aren't out on the public internet.
Any chance of incremental improvements on this API should be welcomed with open arms.
Even if CREST ever appears (and we're coming up on the 1 year anniversary of the dev-testing "add contact" API being delayed) it's not going to be emerge fully-formed; it took a long time for this existing API to get to the feature set it has.
It's this API that's going to be driving the third party tools that thousands of people use for a long time to come, and as such it still needs maintenance and improvement.

Where can we find some documentation and info on that subject?
http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/CREST_Documentation
Last updated March 2012.
And you can't call any of the few functions defined there, because there is no user-accessible CREST API.
