Sorry... I realize this thread is a bit old but...

The incentive to support rel="suggestions" is that clients can now
return suggestions in a format other then JSON.  Win7 for instance
doesn't have a JSON parser and I'm sure Brandon doesn't want to have
to implement one if he doesn't have to.  Separating the the templates
relationship from its return type means servers can return suggestions
as "application/atom+xml" if the want them to show up in Windows (or
other clients without JSON parsers.)

I don't think Win7 currently supports suggestions so this isn't a huge
deal but I think the argument is valid.
