Re: [Ace] Embedded Content Types

[Jim Schaad <[e-mail]>]

I am thinking of two different URLs, that is not do the difference by a query parameter but by changing the URI.  This makes it easier because the client should be able to be deterministic about going to the same URI so it should do the second POST to the same location and there is no need for any existing code to be changed.  These would be two different URIs and there would be one additional URI returned in the query to well-known/core.
