Michael Pizzo commented on ODATA-1044:
--------------------------------------

We can address the predictability of how a name is qualified by saying that an alias, if present, must be used.

Then we can suggest, but not require, the use of aliases.

> To simplify lookup of qualified names the CSDL JSON representation initially required namespace-qualified names. This got some pushback as namespaces are typically long to be unique and alias-qualified names are more readable, so aliases were re-introduced.
> Why not require aliases and alias-qualified names in CSDL JSON documents to further increase readability by avoiding the arbitrary mix of namespace- and alias-qualified names.
