      Description

      The only way of dealing with attachments (streams) as per the current OData spec seems to be using Media Entities or Named Stream Properties, where a media link is provided to download the attachment. Is there a way to get properties and attachments in one call?

      Original proposal:
      1. Media Entities can contain content INLINE
      2. Or OData can support multipart message format with the first part having the original request/response payload in atom/json formats and rest of the parts having attachments as dealt in case of HTTP multipart attachments.
