Description
It would be nice if the library would allow to use Traversion with a freely chosen hypermedia type. This way someone could traverse a hypermedia based API even if it is not build on HAL.
The Traversion class currently loads all TraversonDefaults implementations that are available through the spring factories mechanism. This is working as expected but the static initialization fails if more than one TraversonDefaults implementation is available. And because the HalTraversonDefaults implementation is added/initialized through the library itself another (custom) hypermedia type has now chance to override this behavior.

Research direction
Read the Traversion class, TraversonDefaults implementations, and the HalTraversonDefaults initialization through the Spring factories mechanism. Verify how multiple active media types are discovered and registered, then ensure a custom hypermedia type can coexist with HAL without static initialization failure.
