Um, in favor of what? If not the formal specification, what else could 
one use to determine what is and is not legal CQL?

I get that you are not happy with the formal specification, and think it 
should have been otherwise.  But unless you want to try to develop your 
own and convince people to use your own instead of the current one, I'm 
not sure what good it does to tell people to ignore the specification.
