> The document "OData Version 4.0, Part1: Protocol" specifies in section
> "11.4.6.2 Remove a Reference to an Entity":
>      For collection-valued navigation properties, the entity reference of
>      the entity to be removed MUST be specified using the $id query
>      string option.
> It would be nice if instead of or at least additional to using the $id query
> option it would be allowed to use the key after the navigation property
> to specify which entity is referenced.
> Example:
>     DELETE http://host/service/Customers(1)/Orders/$ref?$id=../../Orders(4711)
> could be expressed as
>     DELETE http://host/service/Customers(1)/Orders(4711)/$ref
> This avoids a mandatory query option, handling of nested URLs, and parsing of relative or absolute URLs including verification that the URL is fitting; last but not least it is shorter and easier to understand.
> Kind Regards,
> Oliver Heinrich
