Hi Rob.  Your profile document says:

I think the further discussion, with examples, that's currently in the
context-set document belongs here in the profile.

The context-set document should give XML examples of what
zrx.supports_* searches for.

The context-set document says:

> One new relation modifier is introduced in the ZeeRex context set:
> Index Name  Description
> oid         The term is an OID in dotted notation. eg: 1.2.840.10003.3.1

What is the purpose of this?  (I'm not arguing against it yet, just
wanting to understand the rationale.)  In what circumstances could a
search-term not annotated with this modifier be misinterpreted?

> zrx.set exact "info:srw/cql-context-set/1/cql-v1.1" prox/unit=element/distance=0 zrx.index exact "anywhere"

This would be clear if formatted with newlines:

        zrx.set exact "info:srw/cql-context-set/1/cql-v1.1"
        prox/unit=element/distance=0
        zrx.index exact "anywhere"

(as you do later).

Nice work!
