[OASIS Issue Tracker] Created: (ODATA-593) Stream properties for JSON can indicate mediaContentType but ATOM doesn't allow it

Stream properties for JSON can indicate mediaContentType but ATOM doesn't allow it
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: ODATA-593
                 URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-593
             Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: OData ATOM Format 
    Affects Versions: V4.0_CSD02
            Reporter: Evan Ireland
             Fix For: V4.0_OS


JSON format permits stream properties to optionally indicate content-type (as well as mediaEtag). So the receiver can determine the media content type without having to actually GET the stream content.

ATOM format, on the other hand, does not permit the media content type to appear in an "atom:link". (See ATOM section 9.1 in CS02).

It seems that this must be an accidental omission, as surely we should expect equivalent information about the stream content to be available regardless of the format (JSON or ATOM).
