Choosing the media type is needed before LC, though I have been waiting
until the last minute to avoid creating unnecessary types.  Given the limited
applicability, I would prefer to use one of the standard JSON types
for linked data (schema or JSON-LD, or maybe something new).
Several new hypermedia-enabled JSON types have been proposed recently.

Specifically, since "exceptions" are not errors/exceptions and might not be exceptional to a general preference, should we call these "user-granted permissions" instead of "user-granted exceptions"?
