      Remove second sentence from OData-URL, section 5.1.1.14.5 and add another example.

      5.1.1.14.5 $root

      The $root literal can be used in expressions to refer to resources of the same service.

      Additional Example: function call returning the average rating of a given employee by their peers (employees in the same department)

      http://host/service/Employees('A1245')
/self.AvgRating(RatedBy=@peers)
?@peers=$root/Employees/$filter(Department eq $it/Department)

      OData-URL, 5.1.1.14.5 seems to allows $root only in a single-valued expression or within complex or collection literals. The ABNF allows also some collection-valued expressions, but not entity sets.
