I need to disagree. I did never discuss "how to do hypermedia APIs". I am
discussing what is HATEOAS and REST, and what is not HATEOAS and REST. It is
absolutely valid and sensible what "they" want to do. All I say is that I
don't want to have it in JAX-RS, since it is not REST, as it is not HATEOAS
-- and JAX-RS is about REST, not about "anything with hypermedia via http".
