The idref isn't a WADL attribute. In Jersey we support partial WADLs
so for subresource locators we just return an empty <resource
path="..."/> and then the client can GET the partial WADL for the
subpath later. I covered this in a blog entry:

Either is valid but the canonical way is one get method with two
sibling representations.
