In the z39.50r URL as specified in RFC 2056, you can't specify _any_
search, AA-compliant or not.  All you can do is specify a record by
its unique ID.

That's part of the reason for the work-in-progress revision at
	http://www.gils.net/z-url.txt
which I thought someone had mailed to the list, but which I can't find
in the archive at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-zig/2002Apr/
so I assume it must have been sent directly to me.

I don't think there's a problem with specifying an AA-compliant search
using the extended URLs proposed by that document.
