Re: New ebRS Section 8.2.2, RegistryEntryQuery

Len,

While I appreciate the thought and work you have put into this....

The UML diagram is creating a parrallel universe. I am concerned that you have
included things like Path and PathElement
URN, SlotElement etc. which are not in RIM.

Further, this writeup has not yet been approved by the query sub-team.

I humbly ask that we follow some basic protocol so we do not create confusion
and disarray.
