[OASIS Issue Tracker] (ODATA-1010) Represent deleted entities similar to added/changed entities

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

    [ https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/ODATA-1010?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=64631#comment-64631 ] 

Ralf Handl commented on ODATA-1010:
-----------------------------------

Feedback from implementation team: 
- combine "removed" and "reason" into one annotation
- do not use a special context URL for entities annotated as "deleted"
- place custom annotations directly within the deleted entity:

    { 
      "@odata.id":"Customers('ANTON')", 
      "@odata.removed":"deleted",                        /* and "@odata.removed":"changed" */
      "@myannotation.user":"Mario", 
      "@myannotation.justification":"he didn't pay his bill", 
      /* optionally properties of the deleted entity */ 
      "CustomerID": "ANTON", 
      ... 
    } 

This also reserves context URLs with the suffix /$deletedEntity for V4-style "tombstones".

> This would allow using the same serialization template. And it looks more consistent :-)
