Hubert Heijkers commented on ODATA-537:
---------------------------------------

Ok, my gut feel tells me to propose to get rid of associationLink altogether in that case. Can you think of any reason where nowadays with v4 we'd need that extra annotation? To me its like one of the remains of what we used to have but I might be missing a case where one might not be following convention that I've never ran into myself yet.

> 8.2 - Association Link specifies that if both navigationLink and associationLink are represented, for example in the odata.metadata=full case, that the associationLink MUST immediately precede the navigationLink.
> Example 10 however shows two cases were both links are represented however they are in the opposite order of what is specified in 8.2.
> Unless there is a specific reason why associationLink MUST precede the navigationLink, presuming an order needs to be enforced in the first place, I'd propose to have navigationLink precede the associationLink, as associationLink builds on, if following convention, the navigationLink.
