re: FilterQuery and Support for pattern matching

[Matthew Mackenzie <matt@xmlglobal.com>]

I concur, although I feel that we should specify a simplistic matching 
syntax that is very conscious of performance issues - possibly just 
the '%' functionality which is easily implemented and have it as a non-
optional feature for vendors, as well as adopt an optional interface 
which allows for full POSIX regexps to be specified (which will 
invariably be a dog performance wise).  This way, it will be possible 
for developers to formulate relatively useful, yet portable queries. 

Cheers,

Matt
