------------------------------------

             Summary: Consider PATCH to /$delta for delta update rather than rely on context url
                 Key: ODATA-1057
                 URL: https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/ODATA-1057
             Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Protocol
    Affects Versions: V4.01_CS01
         Environment: [Proposed]
            Reporter: Michael Pizzo
             Fix For: V4.01_CS02


As of 4.01 we support PATCH to a collection of entities. The PATCH is either interpreted as a set operation (if the payload is a single entity) or applied as a delta payload (if the payload has a context URL of #$delta.

Rather than distinguishing on payload, what if we said that PATCH to a collection of entities is always interpreted as a set operation (same as PATCH to a collection of complex or primitive types) and to apply a delta to a collection of entities you would PATCH to the resource with /$delta appended.
