[OASIS Issue Tracker] Created: (ODATA-400) Allow JSON values also in common expressions, not only in parameter aliases

Allow JSON values also in common expressions, not only in parameter aliases
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: ODATA-400
                 URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-400
             Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC
          Issue Type: Improvement
         Environment: [Proposed]
            Reporter: Ralf Handl


Currently we allow JSON values (arrays, complex types, entities) only in parameter aliases. This leads to constructions like

http://host/service/Orders?$filter=$it eq @ref&@ref={"odata.ref":"http://host/service/ZqV5t"}

The "natural" form without the unnecessary alias

http://host/service/Orders?$filter=$it eq {"odata.ref":"http://host/service/ZqV5t"}

is not allowed.
