I was recently exposed to this standard on a green field sinatra project. It quickly became burdensome to maintain all of the linkages. It really deteriorates your ability to keep things DRY on the JSON generation (we were using RABL). Of course, these problems were exacerbated by the fact that there were other issues with how the data was structured and how the client wanted to access resources.
