> 11.3.3.1 reads in part: "A service SHOULD support retrieving the raw value of a primitive type property."
> 13.1.1 OData Minimal Conformance Level does not mention this capability.
> 13.1.2 OData Intermediate Conformance Level reads in part: "MUST support /$value on media entities and individual properties (section Requesting a Property's Raw Value using $value)" contradicting 11.3.3.1.
> 13.1.3 OData Advanced Conformance Level incorporates 13.1.2 by reference and so also contradicts 11.3.3.1.
> Part of the issue may lie in the use of may, should, must in the normative prose. 
> For example: "A service SHOULD support retrieving the raw value of a primitive type property."
> Could be expressed:
> "The $value operator in a property value URL retrieves the raw value of a primitive type property."
> Organizationally, I would follow that with the rules for Edm.Binary, other properties and NULLs.
> For example, a client using a GET request with $value:
> http://host/service/Products(1)/Name/$value
