Re: The minimum set

I would say that the minimum set of operators is the list in the
requirements, which are also the ones defined in the simplesearch grammar
(I didn't double-check that, but I assume it's true).  A server must
support simplesearch, and so must support all of these operators.  If it
wants to extend the list to others, fine.
