Interesting question in some other chat:
If I have /users/{id} as specified resource access URL, and then {id} should be an integer, and then client requests /users/bad, should server respond with 404 or 400?

404. The URL is part of the HTTP contract which doesn't specify types, so that's a valid URL pointing to a nonexistent resource.

I would go with 418 instead.
