Ralf Handl updated ODATA-355:
-----------------------------

       Proposal: Change URL conventions to use forward slashes as key delimiters instead of parentheses  (was: Change URL conventions to use forward slashes as key delimiters)
    Description: 
The key of an entity is part of the URl path, so we can't use forward slashes for complex key parts:

Problem(Header/ID=42) cannot be used as this defines two path segments Problem(Header and ID=42

Alternatives:
- Problem(Header%2fID=42) - Encode / as %2f
- Problem(Header-ID=42) - Use a dash instead of /
- Problem(Header.ID=42) - Use a dot instead of /
- Problem/Header/ID=42 - Use forward slashes as key delimiters instead of parentheses
- Reject ODATA-60 and disallow parts of complex properties as key values
