> Content-id referencing uses the magic character $ followed by a token to refer back to a request that specifies that token in its content-id header.
> Using one of the standard resource names without a $ prefix as a content-id could lead to confusion as URLs relative to the batch request URL are also relative to the service root and the relative URL for the standard resources thus starts with a $:
> --batch_36522ad7-fc75-4b56-8c71-56071383e77b
> Content-Type: application/http 
> Content-Transfer-Encoding:binary
> Content-ID: batch
> POST Customers HTTP/1.1
> <new customer body>
> --batch_36522ad7-fc75-4b56-8c71-56071383e77b
> Content-Type: application/http 
> Content-Transfer-Encoding:binary
> Content-ID: nested-batch
> POST $batch HTTP/1.1 
> Content-Type: multipart/mixed;boundary=nested_batch_77162fcd-b8da-41ac-a9f8-9357efbbd 
> Content-Length: ###       
> --nested_batch_77162fcd-b8da-41ac-a9f8-9357efbbd 
> <content of nested batch
> --nested_batch_77162fcd-b8da-41ac-a9f8-9357efbbd--
> --batch_36522ad7-fc75-4b56-8c71-56071383e77b--
> In this (admittedly weird) example the second POST request URL would not be interpreted as a content-id reference but literally as a request to $batch.
