One can build a service that has so-called "Rails-style meaningful URIs" that also returns hyperlinks to new resources. They aren't mutually exclusive.
That said, yes, everyone seems to forget about hypertext. I'm curious: if I'm building a REST-based JSON-formatted service, what's the convention for returning related URIs? Ex: if I return a Product resource andi want to have links to the products image, the owner's resource, edit this product, and so on, is there a standard way to return them in the JSON structure, or doesthis nor matter?
