[OASIS Issue Tracker] (ODATA-687) Prepare clients to deal with type annotations without the leading "#"

[ https://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-687?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Michael Pizzo updated ODATA-687:
--------------------------------

    Description: 
ODATA-561 calls out the fact that the leading "#" is not really required (and doesn't really make sense) for primitive types (because they are not really a fragment located within the metadata document) and suggests (for backward compatibility) allowing, but not requiring, services to omit the "#" for primitive types.

We should make clients aware that this change is expected, so that they can write their code appropriately.

Ideally we would say: "Services should not include a leading # for primitive types but clients should be prepared to handle primitive types with or without a leading"
