      Applies only to requests that return a single resource, and only to $select and $expand (and $format)
      1) if $expand/$select are present, implies return=representation
      2) if $expand/$select are present and return=minimal, service MUST include preference-applied if they DON'T return a result
      3) if it returns a result, $expand MUST be applied if specified and MUST include at least the $selected columns
      4) the service MUST NOT fail the request due to the $expand/$select; if the service cannot return a result with the appropriate $expand and $select it MUST return No Content

      This seems to be a natural extension for inserts and (partial) updates.
      Action calls already allow the same system query options as GET requests for the same return type.
