Seeking clarification of naming for GeographyCollection with GeoJSON
--------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: ODATA-597
                 URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-597
             Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: V4.0_OS
            Reporter: Evan Ireland
             Fix For: V4.0_OS


GeoJSON section 2.1.8 states:

  A GeoJSON object with type "GeometryCollection" is a geometry object which represents a collection of geometry objects.

  A geometry collection must have a member with the name "geometries". The value corresponding to "geometries" is an array. Each element in this array is a GeoJSON geometry object.
  
Can we assume that for OData, a GeographyCollection contains a member with the name "geographies", as opposed to "geometries", and that the "type" will be "GeographyCollection" rather than "GeometryCollection"?

Or do we assume that the "geometry" naming is used in the GeoJSON format, even for "geography" types?
