Status response message as carrier for annotations as alternative to 204 No Content
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: ODATA-585
                 URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-585
             Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: V4.0_COS
         Environment: [Proposed]
            Reporter: Ralf Handl
             Fix For: V4.1_WD01


There are some situations where OData 4.0 requires a response with 204 No Content:
  1. GET a raw primitive value using the /$value path suffix and the value is null
  2. GET a nullable property or navigation property and the value is null
  3. DELETE a nullable property or relationship to set it to null
  4. GET a function result that is primitive or structured and is null 
  5. POST an action call and the primitive or structured result is null, or the action has no result

This does not allow to add explanatory annotations to the logically empty result.
