Re: [Specifications] How to document forbidden dereferencability (#216)

> The distinction is simple: A UA would render an `@id` as a clickable link if it can be resolved, and would not if it cannot. Having clickable URIs that lead to nowhere is just not a good sell for an API.

But why does the server generate those non-existing URIs then?

Are they placeholders for possible future resources?
If they are, then you might be looking rather for something like "created: false".

If they are placeholders for things that will never exist, I don't fully see the case (there might still be one, but please make it explicit).
