[oslc-core] New issues on query, shape, etc.

Arthur - agreed, we should discuss this, perhaps in the core workgroup call
this week. Dave, can we fit this into the agenda? My sense of where we are
is close but a bit different than what is reflected in this thread. We have
not moved Query out of the core and put it on a longer convergence
schedule. We have (1) reorganized the core spec pages on the wiki to make
the spec more readable and manageable, (2) recognized that many elements of
the query part of the spec are proven out, reflective of a tidied up and
improved V1 query specs, and have near term (2010) community plans for
implementation, and (3) recognized that some newer elements in the query
part of the spec would benefit from a longer term convergence process as
mentioned. So, independent of what organization we have on the wiki pages,
I think what we need to do is make it clear which elements of the query are
"ready for prime time" and intend to be adopted in the current iterations
of the domain specs, and which elements remain as a forward looking view of
query subject to convergence feedback. Look forward to discussing this on
the core call.
