The grammar constrains the specification of
thesauri, stop word lists, and languages to StringLiteral.
This unnecessarily constrains query construction and 
compositionality.

Proposal:
Change the productions to use ExprSingle rather than 
StringLiteral, and change the accompanying text in sections
3.2 to speak of the expression being castable to the appropriate
type (which, in the case of thesauri and stop word lists should
be xs:anyURI not xs:string in any case).

Note that this also bears on #2483.
