And it is something I need too. :)

You mean it is not listed on page 66?  While I agree that it would make
sense to mention it there, or at least explain that it should be added
if sakarkiv is implemented in the section 7.2.3 (sakarkiv), I believe
the drawing on page 200 must be interpreted to mean that it should be
possible to list all saksmappe associated with arkivdel from arkivdel.
Another defect report, I guess?  What do we propose to make it clearer?

Thank you.  I'll see if I understand it. :)

Very good.  Note, the problem is one of the expected failures:

  xfailure: unable to GET
    http://localhost:8092/noark5v4/hateoas-api/sakarkiv/saksmappe/47e32b1a-653d-466c-b82b-83843f52f456/journalpost/

If there are some endpoints you believe are implemented which are listed
as expected failures, please modify runtest to make it an unexpected
failure. :)

After looking at the examples, it is unclear to me how OData will solve
it.  Any idea what URL to use for such OData request, and how to write
it?  It would have to refer to relations via relations via relations,
and OData seem to operate on a single table?

I believe want all journalpost entries for a given arkiveier, arkiv or
arkivdel, ordered by journaldato.  It is unclear from the little I read
about OData in the spec how to limit the journalpost to those linked in
from arkiveier, arkiv or arkivdel.
