Someone needs to fix the wikipedia page on HATEOAS then, because it says exactly the opposite of what you just did in its third sentence.

(One of the other problems with Fielding's work is precisely this word-salad of new jargon and usages, leading to exactly this kind of what-does-it-REALLY-mean-anyway confusion. But that's an argument for a different thread.)

From the wikipedia page: "The media types used for these representations, and the link relations they may contain, are standardized."

As for Fielding's work having a word-salad of new jargon and uses, I frankly didn't get that by reading his dissertation, which I found quite clear. There are a few concepts (Resources, Representations), but I think they make sense in the context.
