Hi Tim, The biggest APP user I know is Google, with practically all of its API using the Google Data (GData) protocol. It's basically a extended version of APP, most due to practicality reasons prevailing over idealistic (i.e. "pure" APP).
GData puts some extensive stress testing on APP, i.e. Using advanced features such as querying and returning different serialization formats not just Atom+XML, but manages to adhere to fundamental principles of APP. Aside from Google's own "proprietary" auth mechanism (which I think can be replaced with Oauth for general masses), I think Google's use of GData/APP is a good example of APP in the real world.
