> We've add navigation properties to complex types with ODATA-244 and made them into kind of "keyless entities", but still restrict most system query options to resource paths identifying entitites or collections of entities. 
> Why not treat them similarly with respect to $expand, $select, $filter, $count, $orderby, $skip and $top?
> This would also simplify application of ODATA-165 as it obviates the need of introducing "keyless entities" as the result type of queries targeting the entity containers. Complex type instances would be more natural there.
