Thanks Michael.  I understand that position, as at first blush it seems
perfectly reasonable.  But I believe that query languages have a special
obligation under the constraints of Web architecture (especially those
developed within the W3C), as I attempted to explain with the reference
to the TAG document.

Is your response the official response of the WG?
