> Also, I, personally, find that portion of REST to be silly. I like the organizational hints and guidelines, but the resource discovery seems far too pipe-dreamy to ever be built on a large scale. The amount of work really isn't that great when compared with having to layout routes. Proper HATEOAS is like unit testing: people complain it takes too much work but then complain that the lack of tests is a problem.
