As I already commented on the above blog, Jan is wrong here. According to
Fielding it is *NOT* RESTful if the links are *NOT* in the media itself, as
the Headers are part of the protocol, not part of the media -- but REST must
work with *ANY* protocol, not just with http!
So it is pragmatic to use the headers, but it is not REST. And (once more),
JAX-RS is about REST, not about pragmatic http usage. Isn't it?
