Michael Pizzo commented on ODATA-1107:
--------------------------------------

Note: I'm happy to defer this until we have someone using this feature so that we can better understand what type of information they need to convey to the client.

> With the new "MayImplement" annotation, and semantics around using a cast segment to cast to an type outside of the hierarchy we introduce a powerful new way of supporting "dynamic interfaces" which may be supported by some instances but not others.
> What we don't have is a way to specify, for a particular instance, which types (outside of the hierarchy) it supports.
