> We added when to added/deleted links in ATom because it was part of the Atom tombstone specification for deleted entries. We added when to JSON to be consistent with Atom.
> However, because we impose an ordering on the returned changes that leads to eventual consistency, knowing "when" a change occurred is of dubious value.
> As we don't currently have an annotation for last change in JSON, nor do we have a way for the client to say whether or not they want/care about such information, we should remove the "when" name/value pair from added/deleted links and tombstones in JSON, so it only appears for well-formedness in Atom tombstones with no semantic meaning in OData, and perhaps we can get it optional there as well.
