Comment (by luisherranz):

 I think that if the duplication of embedded resources were not an issue,
 there won't be any doubt that the `type` information belongs to the
 "related resources" of a post. For that reason, I think it shouldn't be
 treated differently just because of the high duplication ratio.

 On the other hand, I think the REST API should provide a general solution
 to avoid duplication of embedded resources because it will benefit many
 other cases, not just this one. There are a lot of resources that also
 have high duplication ratios, like authors or common tags and categories.

 Maybe a solution for that could be to expose a top `_embedded` field when
 combining the `_embed` and `_envelope` queries, where the embedded
 resources would be properly normalized. But I guess this is probably not
 the place to discuss this :)
