-introduce a vocabulary element for services to declare one or more default namespaces, as per simplified url proposal ( https://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/odata/email/archives/201511/msg00007.html ) -4.01 services need to support invoking unqualified actions/functions defined within a default namespace -State that bound actions/functions SHOULD NOT conflict with any properties on the type they are bound to -Define a precedence for resolving possible conflicts as per simplified url proposal: -declared property=>function/action=>open property -Services must also allow qualified invocation -make sure that docs are clear that services must not require clients to understand custom annotations, but OData annotations may imply semantics that a client reporting support for that version of the specification would need to understand in order to work correctly with the service.
