Amazing technology, but we are finding it a little limiting in production. True and False values are good, but we're finding that often the data value is in an in between state. We believe that a quinary operator would give significant advantages over the current binary booleans (TRUE/FALSE). Is it possible to implement a quinary boolean along the lines of TRUE/FALSE/MAYBE/MOSTLY/KINDA.

for example earth_harmless:FALSE is not quite true, whereas earth_harmless:MOSTLY is exactly what we need.

Good practice would recommend adding /v1/ to your API url. The state of the boolean ecosystem is moving so fast that we have no idea what booleans will look like in 5 years!

Not necessarily. He should be using the HTTP Accepts header to negotiate content type including version. Using the version in the URL is considered an anti-pattern by a good many API evangelists.
