[Fiware-ngsi] "Duplication" in resource URL in convenience operations

[Fermín Galán Márquez]

Dear Tobias,

We agree in making only the functionality of

/ngsi9/contextEntities/{EntityId}
/ngsi9/contextEntityTypes/{typeName}
/ngsi10/contextEntities/{EntityId}
/ngsi10/contextEntities/{EntityId}

mandatory, leaving the other 4 alternatives:

/ngsi9/contextEntities/{EntityId}/attributes
/ngsi9/contextEntityTypes/{typeName}/attributes
/ngsi10/contextEntities/{EntityId}/attributes
/ngsi10/contextEntities/{EntityId}/attributes

out of the standard, i.e. not mentioning it in doc/wiki.

Best regards,

------
Fermín
