[OASIS Issue Tracker] (ODATA-1281) Clarify: optional action parameters, interpretation of omitted optional parameters

Ralf Handl created ODATA-1281:
---------------------------------

             Summary: Clarify: optional action parameters, interpretation of omitted optional parameters
                 Key: ODATA-1281
                 URL: https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/ODATA-1281
             Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: JSON Format, Protocol
    Affects Versions: V4.01_CS01
         Environment: Proposed
            Reporter: Ralf Handl
             Fix For: V4.01_CS02


With https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/ODATA-1066 we added the possibility to mark parameters as optional.

We also added text to Part 1: Protocol describing how function overload resolution works in combination with optional parameters.

Two aspects of optional parameters just came up during implementation that I canât find in the document or the issue:
 # Are services free to interpret the absence of a parameter as best suits the purpose of the function`?
 # Can actions also have optional parameters that can be omitted from the request body?
