Re: Is it correct to respond with partial representation for low capabilities media-types?

By the way, does somebody know if an http header is considered part of
the representation from a REST POV? Because it is possible to define
link relations in the header response without it being in the
"metadata body container".

I'm tempted sometimes to use media types that are not hypermedia and
get around this by defining link relations in the Link header field.
What are the downsides of making use of such non first-class
hypermedia representations? In other words, what typical bad use
someone can do of rfc5988?

Thanks a lot for your comments.
