Thanks, Ross, for bringing this up, and thanks, Mike, for pointing out your 
implementation.

The short and long answer....

Short answer: we can formalize this in a matter of several weeks.


Long answer: where we left off, this work was characterized as a "blueprint 
for CQL bibliographic searching", a combination context set,  profile, and 
proposed enhancements to the CQL context set.  So there is some work to do 
to separate these three aspects.   Not much work though, and I'll start on 
it as soon as I can free up some time, which may be a couple weeks.

The plan had been to submit this work to a standards group who would 
formalize a bibliographic profile and in the process refine the implicit 
context set. Thus it was best left to that group to separate out the context 
set.   But, unfortunately,  that's not going to happen  (this was offered to 
NISO, but NISO had no interest), and the time has come to move it forward on 
our own.

So I'll put up a document that is a bonafide context set, i.e. isolates the 
context set aspects, and once that is done I think we need to put it up for 
a two week review.

 We don't need to formalize a profile at this point, but I can create that 
too, for discussion. We also need to isolate proposed changes to the CQL 
context set, and go through a process of approving them.

I don't know what the status is, but we're using it in Evergreen:

Here's to hoping it becomes official, if it's not already!
