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

Which proposal do we want to apply: the one in Proposal, or the slightly modified one in the description?

The one simplifies constructing navigation properties but complicates the omission rules for odata.editLink and odata.readLink:

    The odata.editLink annotation MUST appear for updatable entities if odata.metadata=full is requested
    or if the edit URL differs from the entity-id.

would have to be morphed to

    The odata.editLink annotation MUST appear for updatable entities if odata.metadata=full is requested
    or if the edit URL differs from the entity-id other than by an appended cast segment.

Similar for readLink

    I move to resolve ODATA- as proposed

> Slightly modified proposal:
> By convention, the entity-id does not end with a cast segment even if the entity type is part of an inheritance hierarchy.
> The canonical representation of the edit/self link is the id plus the cast segment [as required]
> The canonical representation of the navigation link is the self link plus the navigation property
> The canonical representation of the association link is to append /$ref to the navigation link.
> This simplifies rules by putting the cast segment on the self link rather than conditionally applying it to each navigation property/advertised function/etc.
