A quick scan of the spec makes me think it could be very valuable in a lot of contexts. OTOH, it sadly doesn't (appear to) allow one of the things I really like about URI Templates and that is the ability to reference in a <link> element in the <head> of an HTML file. At least not embedded in the document (I guess you could put it in a resource and store a URI that references that resource in a <link> element, but that adds a level of indirection/abstraction that would significantly increase the complexity of using it, and I think that could be a real negative w.r.t adoption.)
