Hypermedia as part of the standard #28

Closed StephenOTT closed 10 years ago

Are you guys looking at making Hypermedia part of the standard?

As it stands now we are requiring output format and language be controllable by headers. The Accept: header using MIME types which is the core tenant of Hypermedia support.

This document will be review against existing API in the GoC and may see revisions but it would be hard to excise controlling output format via headers in the default endpoint.
