Allow annotating edm:Annotation element, disallow annotating edm:Collection element
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: ODATA-436
                 URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-436
             Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: OData CSDL
    Affects Versions: V4.0_CSD01
         Environment: [Proposed]
            Reporter: Ralf Handl
             Fix For: V4.0_CSD02


Sometimes it is necessary to explain the application of a term, not the term itself. Which is why most annotation expressions can be annotated. 

Unfortunately neither constant expressions nor the Annotation element itself can be annotated, so we can't express why a simple value was annotated.

Allowing annotations on edm:Annotation will solve that, and also make it unnecessary to annotate edm:Collection because all the surrounding expressions can be annotated now.
