There are generic set of other functions that might be useful as the php ref. gateway as it extends, but most of them are also administrative functions,
- update/remove/activate/deactivate user - setup user groups - list users/groups - user/group permissions for actions/resources User management is an area that pops up for mailing list discussion from time to time but never gets proper attention for a lengthy one. I think it is ok to start with the requirements at hand and apply it for the ref. gateway. Since its going to be a proxy API, any changes suggested through feedback should be easy to make.
