Re: Comment on LDF spec

For me no need to add an example. I just found it strange that CONTRUCT, SELECT and ASK are mentioned, but not DESCRIBE. Made me ask if it is an mistake or if it was left out on purpose for some unspecified reason (hence this post).

So for me omitting it is more confusing.
