Require type usage to always specify a qualified name for types other than the built-in primitive types
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: ODATA-237
                 URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-237
             Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: OData CSDL v1.0
    Affects Versions: WD01
         Environment: [Proposed]
            Reporter: Ralf Handl
             Fix For: WD01


The prose text in some places suggests that simple identifiers can be used for type names when the usage is in the same schema as the type definition.

The schema on the other hand only allows primitive types in the Edm namespace to be used without a qualifier.

Always providing a qualifier is more expressive, and specifying Alias="Self" on the Schema element seems to be a commonly used convention anyway.
