-------------------------------------

I am okay making this apply to collection valued properties as well.

> We allow client-driven paging with $top and $skip for all collection-valued resources, but restrict server-driven paging (indicated by next links) to collections of entities or entity references.
> Semantically there's no reason for this restriction, and both Atom and JSON would naturally allow this with <link rel="next" ../> or odata.nextLink in the collection wrapper.
> The obvious work-around of returning a collection of transient entities with a dummy key is sub-optimal.
