+## Rationale
+
+### Including the parent resource name in the resource name
+
+It is a common use case to first look up the parent resource, then perform an
+operation on a child. If the child does not incude the resource name of the
+parent, the consumer of the resource must choose from a set of non-optimal
+approaches to find the parent:
+
+1. Perform a read of the child resource, then look up a custom field on the
+   child to find the parent (assuming such a field exists).
+1. Require another field for their operation that specifies the parent of a
+   resource in addition to the child resource.
