According to the proposed API 1.1 spec, it *does* use an extra element in
the path to indicate the account; this is (presumably) returned by the
auth system:

http://servers.api.openstack.org/v1.1/1234/servers/12

Where "1234" is the account ID (actually a token, I believe) and "12" is
the server ID. 

See p. 5 of the latest API 1.1 doc.
