Comment (by maxcutler):

 Good idea Dan. I see three options to solve that problem:

 1. Have an additional parameter that is an array of strings representing
 the fields that the caller wishes to receive back. An empty array would be
 interpreted as "all".

 2. Have an additional string parameter representing 'response type', with
 possible values like 'full', 'basic', 'minimal'. This would give some
 amount of flexibility to the caller while not making the implementation a
 mess by needing to check every single field.

 3. Have an additional array/struct parameter that is a set of filters on
 the response. Possible filters would be things like 'include_content',
 'include_custom_fields', 'include_taxonomies', etc.

 I personally am leaning towards 2 but would certainly appreciate others'
 thoughts.
