Michael Pizzo commented on ODATA-920:
-------------------------------------

As much as I like the expando-values, changing the structure based on annotations, which are supposed to be innocuous/ignorable.  This seems to move us further away from "hand crafted" json.

In most cases I've seen "annotations" done as parallel arrays.  We could instead introduce a new "annotations" term that is an array of the same cardinality as the annotated collection and is used to annotate array values. This single annotation could be safely ignored and doesn't otherwise affect the structure of the array.

<Term Name="annotations" Type="Collection(Edm.Untyped)"/>

{
    "myArray":[1,2,null,4,5],
    "myArray@annotations":[null,null,{"@numericValueException":"NaN"},null,null}
}
