[OASIS Issue Tracker] (ODATA-630) Consider making odata the default namespace for annotations

Michael Pizzo commented on ODATA-630:
-------------------------------------

I brought this up with the JSON-LD folks. They don't think it's a problem since JSON-LD has it's own content type, and they have an extensibility mechanism that lets them basically rewrite the names of their well-known properties.

> OData control information is represented in a JSON payload using annotations in the odata namespace, such as:
> "@odata.nextlink":"http://..."
> For services that want the payload to look as much as possible like handcrafted json, the fact that "odata" is explicitly called out in the payload is a distraction.
> We might make it easier for services to ease into OData's JSON format by making odata the default namespace, such that the same annotation could be written equivalently as:
> "@nextlink":"http://..."
