Even if you do support the accept header, it seems to be a good idea
to also support the explicit specifying of the type in the link such
as .xml/.json/etc. An example of this is the Zimbra API, IIRC.
That's a good idea; but I'm not too worried about lock-in since I figure
the code is readily available to choose the best variant based on a file
extension versus the Accept header. That would probably be a useful
tutorial though :-)
