 Proposing as suggested by @timothybjacobs in Slack, that on each page, a
 link in the header of the HTML file to the REST route for that resource.

 So, an author page would link to the user endpoint for that user. A post
 to the rest route to that specific post, etc.

 The rel on the link to the REST API endpoint is rel="https://api.w.org/".
 This should probably be a rel="alternate" which indicates an alternative
 representation of the page, with type "application/json" as it is
 technically a json representation of the page, but this may need more
 discussion.
