Simplified Payload [Proposed]

Proposal:

Resolution:
Entities with many properties that are sparsely filled would benefit from optimizing the payload and omitting properties whose value is null.
With odata.metadata=minimal the client can deduce from the context URL whether a property is missing due to not being part of the projection or due to being null.
Maybe switch this on/off via a new preference in the Prefer header.
