      Use similar text as for the Property element in 5.2 The edm:Type Attribute:

      The value of the type attribute MUST be of the form [<anyKeylessTypeReference>][csdl19]. The value of the type attribute MUST resolve to a complex type, entitty type, enumeration type or primitive type, or a collection of complex, entity, enumeration or primitive types.

      The Type attribute of the ValueTerm element is currently limited to [<simpleIdentifier>][csdl19] or [<qualifiedIdentifier>][csdl19].

      As each model element can have at most one ValueAnnotation for a given ValueTerm and Qualifier, this is too restrictive. We already identified situations where we need a Collection(SimpleType) or Collection(ComplexType) as the Type of a ValueTerm.

      Also a ValueAnnotation is conceptually similar to dynamic Property, so allowing the same set of types for both will increase protocol consistency.
