If I'm writing a client, do I really want to allow random search operators into my user interface, where there will be an expectation on the part of customers that I will provide customer support for operators I never developed? It seems more likely that I will only understand a limited set of operators, and provide a user interface for just those operators, ignoring all others that happen to be present. In fact, in this case I'm likely to never do QSD, instead just sticking to the base set of operators supplied for a given schema. - Jim
