aargh!). But whatever, ideas about how web APIs *should* be designed do
evolve over time,

Web APIs need to provide and accept links, not tightly couple clients to
servers by describing how the links are built. This is fundamental to Web
architecture and will never change... because at that point it ceases to be
a Web.
