This is a great idea, and Dan Brickley already has some demos using Eric Prud'hommeax's Algae and also SquishQL servers, showing that SquishQL and Algae can more or less be mapped to each other. A common syntax would be very useful, but syntactic differences might be less significant if there is a common model of what a query is. cheers libby
