To sidestep your original question entirely...
This feels like we are going too far down the hierarchy.

I would think that the first call is good, then for the second:
DELETE http://host:8080/candlepin/entitlements/<id>

So with the first GET, you are requesting the collection of entitlements that are
entitled to the specified consumer, but when dealing with a specific entitlement by id, just use
the "global" collection to reference it.

Bryan - is this consistent with HATEOAS?

I mis-stated.  What you wrote is  what is actually done.

Given my 12 seconds of research, I think so.
