             Summary: Clarify that complex types can only be passed to functions through parameter aliases
                 Key: ODATA-636
                 URL: https://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-636
             Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: OData CSDL, OData Protocol 
    Affects Versions: V4.0_OS
         Environment: [Proposed]
            Reporter: Michael Pizzo
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: V4.0_ERRATA01


complex types can be passed by value to functions, however the structure of the complex type may contain characters (urls, types prefixed with "#", etc.) which are not valid in the path of the URL. Thus, complex types may only be passed by value as parameters using a parameter alias (whose value is passed as a query option).

This is supported from the ABNF, but it takes some digging to figure out. It would be good to call this out in the prose.
