[OASIS Issue Tracker] (ODATA-479) Allow Content-ID referencing in request bodies for inserting links to newly created entities

[OASIS Issues Tracker <workgroup_mailer@lists.oasis-open.org>]

    [ https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/ODATA-479?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=52040#comment-52040 ]

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

This seems to be a feature that servers MAY already allow with version 4.0, because Part 1, section 11.7.3.1 states that "Entities created by an Insert request within a change set can be referenced by subsequent requests within the same change set in places where a resource path to an existing entity can be specified." 

Two of these places where a resource path can be specified are the places in request bodies in the examples above. The JSON format requires the odata.id in these places, which for servers using conventional ids is identical to the resource path.
