I feel that any query language will be used with a great many different
protocols in the short term, from simple HTTP GET to SOAP to local
pure-API approaches. It would be very bizarre to have artifacts of one
particular protocol in the query language.

If the WG wishes to define a network protocol, then I guess that's fine.
But we should be under no delusions that everybody will actually want to
use it, and I do think it's quite silly to bind the process of defining
a query language to that independent process.
