OK, so hobble the entire REST API for the 
deficiencies/architecture/reality of a single authentication/identity 
strategy.

Again, hobble the entire API for the deficiencies and anachronisms of a 
single identity driver.

That would be great. Double bonus if this pagination API followed the 
examples of all the other OpenStack API services and didn't invent its 
own terms (page, per_page...).

Sure, but what you[1] *do* have the ability to implement is a 
capabilities discovery REST API that would allow tools like Horizon to 
determine if the only option available for them would be a filtering 
API, with no pagination capabilities.

It would be super awesome if Keystone had such a capabilities discovery API.
