Well, protocols are about interoperability but my contribution was only intended to refine understanding of current practice ... I have not intended to advocate requireing anything which is a moot point anyway. Furthermore, in this case, the HTML pages which include forms, etc. which result in QRY URLs will be done in the context of a specific server and if the ignore doesn't happen, I presume the HTML author will adjust.
