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

I think you are coming from the perspective of negotiating profiles. Do I get that right?

I would not consider this. An API chooses to use a certain method of describing its hypermedia and it is up to the client to support it. Not that a client can ask for the descriptions it "likes". 

Negotiating the hypermedia controls is totally impossible because profiles will likely be incompatible with one another. So either a client supports your profile or it will be unable to (fully) consume your API. I don't think there is a way around this.
