Comment (by kadamwhite):

 Sync'd with @rmccue on this and read through a bunch of RFCs to try to get
 some clarity here. `self` is still the most ideal here, I believe;
 referencing https://www.iana.org/assignments/link-relations/link-
 relations.xml "An Original Resource is a resource that exists or used to
 exist, and for which access to one of its prior states may be required."
 and is more about versioning than about identity.

 `describedby` would be for info about the post type, `via` is more for an
 external source, and `related` is for another resource. If we don't want
 to use `self`, we could conceivably use `item`. We should look at how hard
 it would be to make self embeddable here and not elsewhere, though.
