With great apologies to Ashley! I know he’s put a
great deal of work into creating the description language/schema and I’m
completely ignoring that work. I was ordered not to look at his version
for fear it would corrupt mine. As you can see, mine is pretty trivial,
but is sufficient to allow an OpenSearch-like client to do more than they can
currently do in OpenSearch.
