there really is no such trap. instead, mixing protocol data into your
resource representations is one of the essential design steps in REST,
when you design your hypermedia controls. because that's what REST
requires you to do: create representations that are self-contained, i.e.
they represent what the client needs as state at a given moment, and they
also represent the navigation capabilities for the client to engage in
further interactions. so don't worry about mixing, instead, see it as
moving in the right design direction.
