Re: vOTE CALL: RE: Counter Proposal Paper Draft 0.9

RegRepers,
Being somewhat out of direct touch with the latest decisions, I know that
the issue of multiple query languages has surfaced. I support this as
an extensible approach for query in the ebXML Registry. There are
ramifications to this of course with interoperability and interface
considerations
for supported query language discovery, the need to specify any constraints
for specific languages, etc. ebXML Registry should provide a foundation for
evolving languages to be sustainable over time.

If I were to vote, and ask to vote on a single query language I would not.
I suggest alignment to multiple languages, and specify this for the
upcoming QR cycle.

Thanks,
