Ralf Handl commented on ODATA-1109:
-----------------------------------

In 11.5.3.1 Invoking a Function we currently restrict function parameter values to literal values:

Parameter values passed to functions MUST be specified either as a URL literal (for primitive types) or as a JSON formatted OData object (for complex types or collections of primitive types or complex types).

Depending on how we resolve this issue we should point to chapter 7. Literal Data Values in the ABNF

> 11.2.6.1.3 Parameter Aliases specifies that "Parameter aliases allow the same value to be used multiple times in a request and may be used to reference primitive values, complex, or collection values" yet in both Example 67 and Example 79 we ourselves show that aliases can also be used to substitute expressions, something which my developers deem is against what's been specified in 11.2.6.1.3, hence the ask for clarification.
