What we are missing is a way to get access to 'breadcrumbs', namely the
list of URI paths that have been used in the hierarchical matching
stages *and* the resource instances associated with those URI paths.
I still think there is some more innovation required for better
representation formats than handle links. I wonder if it is possible to
have a general link-aware JAXB processing step, that takes a JAXB bean
and transforms some field values to URIs (or relative URIs to absolute
URIs).
