[Issue] XCQL: do we need it?

[Farrukh Najmi <farrukh@wellfleetsoftware.com>]

The strawman spec refers to XCQL (btw citation is missing). XCQL sounds 
much Filter syntax within RegRep 3.0 and OGC Catalog specs.  It provides 
an XML representation of the CQL syntax.

Based on my experience such filter syntax has not been particularly 
useful as it is very verbose and complex. Also, it typically requires 
HTTP POST rather than the more desirable HTTP GET.

I suggest we simplify the spec and drop any reference to XCQL.
