Hi Mike:

I don't have any notion of this proposal being advanced as a formal spec. By
"formal specification" I had inferred a document that had been ratified by a
recognized standards body, whether SDO or SSO. This page is not that. But
the new draft CQL [1] is in process of becoming that and will be issued by
OASIS as an industry recognized SSO.

The page cited above talks about CQL as constituting a "formal language".
This is not quite the same the same thing as a "formal specification".

Adam's corrections are still very much on the table. The latest CQL draft is
dated April 22 [1] and there was an active exchange on the SRU list in June,
culminating in this final message [2] from Adam agreeing with the proposed
alterations. These have not been published yet as the main focus of the last
6 months work has been on the SRU prtocol itself. We expect to publish a new
updated verison of the CQL spec shortly.

Cheers,

Tony
