Upon reflection, I think that our situation is more complex. Some of our APIs are more likely to have options on a very regular, even systematic basis (e.g. Contacts), and it wouldn't hurt to have a little consistency. I'd therefore like to propose that we go for object literal on all of our asynchronous calls.

I agree with Andrei. Can't see why your current situation is more complex.
