For the OpenStack API, we need something a bit different from what we<br>
have today. We currently have no way of passing in a project name,<br>
so I propose we add an "entity" element to the path name (just like<br>
Swift does). For example, instead of "/v1.0/servers/1", it would be<br>
"/v1.0/entity/servers/1", where entity can represent an account (like<br>
swift), project (like current nova), or even a user entity (deployments<br>
where projects or accounts are not used). Our window for OpenStack<br>
API changes is still open as it's still under heavy development,<br>
and I think this path addition will provide more functionality and<br>
a consistent structure across services (glance and burrow will be<br>
using an account or "entity" in the path as well).<br>

FYI: the multitenant blueprint, which I will be proposing for merge later today or early tomorrow, does just this to pass the project name in.<br>
