Good observation.

The only wildcards allowed by RFC2616 [1] are (for our use case) */* and
application/*. Neither of those is specific enough to distinguish between
different OCCI Renderings.

You would have to specify all three of them or just the one relevant to
the request made. E.g. if you do GET /-/ you could just specify Accept:
application/occi-discovery+json since that is what you were after anyway.
