I'm fairly sure Silk Road never offered multisig transactions.

Here's a (fairly old) blog post describing how escrow works in OpenBazaar:

This would be better if the site was served over HTTPS. At the moment anyone could MITM the Javascript to steal the file's contents.

Having your clients send an application specific MIME type can actually be better for browsers as well. All you need to do is provide a representation of your resource in HTML which browsers will request by using "text/html" in the Accept header.

I've found this a nice addition to documentation and, depending on how well the HTML representation has been done, is great for learning/exploring an API.
