ProtoBuf (https://protobuf.dev/) and similar RPC-like schemes render "Media Types", HTTP verbs, and oddities like HATEOAS less useful.
Personally, I'm working with an entirely different concept which I believe is more future-proof than trying to fix HTTP.
- Each data item represents a clearly identifiable object like:
1010(["https://example.com/my-cbor-object", {
1: "data",
2: "more data"
}])
- To permit API (and object) updates in a dynamic environment where not all parties are at the same level, discovery services are used. These are ideally found through ./well-known/ extensions.

- Only GET and POST verbs are used. Media Types for HTTP bodies are limited to application/cbor
