Did you consider JSON Home[1] for this? For Juno we've got JSON Home
support in Keystone for Identity v3 (Zaqar was using it already). We
weren't planning to use it for microversioning since we weren't planning on
doing microversioning, but I think JSON Home could be used for this purpose.

Using JSON Home, you'd have relationships that include the version, then
the client can check the JSON Home document to see if the server has
support for the relationship the client wants to use.
