Attribute ContainsTarget (public comment c201305e00009)

Entities are members of at most one set, and are identified within their entity set by their key property values. Typically the entity set is a declared entity set that is declared within an entity container. Contained entities are members of undeclared entity sets that are implicitly defined by their containing entity. Consequently an entity can be contained by at most one other entity, and it is identified by its key values only within the undeclared, implicit entity set. Also a contained entity cannot be a member of a declared entity set within an entity container, because it is already a member of an undeclared, implicit entity set. Consequently navigation properties specifying ContainsTarget="true" MUST NOT have any navigation property binding, removing several confusing sentences from section 7.1.5. This also means that GET requests to declared entity sets will never return contained entities. These statements apply to recursive as well as non-recursive containment.
