The server should at the very least ignore the relations it can't handle and return application/ld+json, or return 406.

Research direction

Start by running the curl examples against the server and compare content negotiation for unsupported and empty media-type parameters. Trace the request handling that selects the response representation; done means unsupported relations are ignored with application/ld+json returned, or the request receives 406.
