Simplify URL syntax and CSDL by restricting services to exactly one entity container
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: ODATA-435
                 URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-435
             Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: OData ABNF Construction Rules, OData CSDL, OData URL Conventions 
    Affects Versions: V4.0_CSD01
         Environment: [Proposed]
            Reporter: Ralf Handl
             Fix For: V4.0_CSD02


We had to introduce a URL convention for addressing children of non-default entity containers using names with at least two dots in them (e.g. namespace.container.entityset), which already lead to some confusion.

We can simplify that by restricting services to one entity container, defined in the central $metadata CSDL document.

This would also remove the IsDefaultEntityContainer attribute from CSDL
