If you're requesting a sub-resource without navigating to it from a known, fixed root, you're not doing HATEOAS. If you're not doing HATEOAS, then that's level 2 REST. The upshot is that you have to have stable URIs, and therefore you have to version them. If you make the extra effort, you get complete freedom to rework your URI schema at any time.
