Michael Pizzo updated ODATA-994:
--------------------------------

    Proposal:   (was: Proposal: for CSD01, clarify how the type is annotated, as below, leaving the rest of the semantics as in the current draft.  Annotations are a nice way for the client to know what schema version was used without having to parse a URL and get the query option. For CSD02, consider replacing the SchemaVersion request header with a query option.)

> The SchemaVersion header and accompanying annotation are intended to allow breaking changes without having to change the service root URL.
> How does this combine with type referencing in the @odata.type annotation?
> We could annotate the @odata.type annotation with the @Core.SchemaVersion:
>     "@odata.type":"https://some.whe.re/$metadata";
>     "@odata.type@Core.SchemaVersion":"2.0.1",
> Or we could add a system query option and make the schema version part of the URL:
>     "@odata.type":"https://some.whe.re/$metadata?$SchemaVersion=2.0.1";,
> Or we could reconsider this and fall back to root URL versioning:
>     "@odata.type":"https://some.whe.re;v=2.0.1/$metadata";,
