It looks like our multiple choice response might predate Nottingham's
proposal, but not by much. In keystone, it's been stable since I joined the
project, midway through the diablo cycle (summer 2011). I don't know any
more history than that, but I've CC'd Jorge Williams, who probably knows.

I really like Nottingham's approach of adding relational links from the
base endpoint, I've been thinking about doing the same for keystone for
quite a while.

Then why didn't Marconi follow the lead of one of the other projects? ;)

I completely agree though - standardized version discovery across the
ecosystem would be fantastic.
