I've (re-)written bnf for CQL based on recent discussion. Not that the discussion has been all that useful in trying to figure out what people really want but it's time to focus on stabalizing this. I've put it up at http://www.loc.gov/z3950/agency/zing/cql.html This is based on Alan's proposal as well as Ralph's earlier work, and the recent discussion. Officially, this is the current state of CQL, so if there are specifics of this draft that you don't like, I'll change it, if you send concrete suggestions. It's time to force the issue and find out how close we are to some consensus. --Ray
