Well, as I said, I am too weary to fight this.  To me, making the
change is like painting a moustache on the Mona Lisa: self evidently
The Wrong Thing.  But if you are more of a Laughing Cavalier kind of
guy prefer your paintings to have moustaches, then that is ultimately
a matter of taste, and nothing I say will persuade you.  So let's save
ourselves the bother by my not trying.

	Context sets permit CQL users to create their own
	indexes, relations, relation modifiers and boolean
	modiers without fear of chosing the same name as
	someone else and thereby having an ambiguous
	query.  All of these four aspects of CQL must come
	from a context set, however there are rules for
	determining the prevailing default if one is not
	supplied.

Nothing there about relation-modifier values.
