So you mean I should send the content of EntityDisplayAttribute instead if available?

The problem I see with that is the fact that I've no way to know on the client end if that should be put in the Collection name or attribute. Or on the client side the name is supposed to be overriden by the EntityDisplayAttribute content anyway?
