Per my action from today's WG meeting [1] to address an ambiguity in using 
application/xml and query response representation.  I have included the 
changes inline for comment and here [2] for reference 

For HTTP GET response formats for Query requests,

    * CM Providers MUST provide RDF/XML, XML, Atom Syndication Format XML 
and JSON representations.
    * The XML, Atom Syndication Format XML and JSON representations SHOULD 
follow the guidelines outlined in the OSLC Core Representations Guidance.
    * The XML representation MUST be identified by using the 
application/xml content type. This representation may not be the same as 
the Atom Syndication Format XML representation, see OSLC Core 
Representations Guidance
    * The Atom Syndication Format XML representation SHOULD use RDF/XML 
for the atom:content entries representing the resource representations.
    * See Query Capabilities for additional information when Resource 
Shapes affect representation
