Comment about ebRIM, section 7.4.2

["Andreas Veithen" <andreas.veithen@gmail.com>]

Section 7.4.2 of ebRIM (version 3.0.1-cd3) specifies that "A Registry
MUST support the query languages as defined by the canonical
QueryLanguage ClassificationScheme." The current version of the
relevant canonical classification scheme defines four query languages
(SQL, Filter query, XQuery and XPath), only two of which are actually
defined in ebRS: SQL and Filter query. Also, section 6.4 of ebRS
(version 3.0.1-cd4) specifies that "An ebXML Registry MAY support SQL
as a supported query syntax within the <rim:queryExpression> element
of AdhocQueryRequest." Only Filter query is declared mandatory by
ebRS. Thus, there is a contradiction between ebRIM and ebRS, unless
the verb "support" in above citation from ebRIM is to be interpreted
in a restricted way (e.g. support to store ad hoc queries in the
registry). Could you clarify this issue?
