It sounds like somehow the message that your received may have been
corrupted. Just before this sentence it says:

The second question, "how are they exposed", is more interesting. Two goals
for this design have been identified during design discussions so far:
   1. Decouple this as much as possible from the OLSC service discovery
      model
   2. Make it possible to leverage/reuse OSLC Query Capabilities, if they
      are available

They're really just "informal design objectives" that have come up in
previous email discussions or during the OSLC WG meetings.

I was thinking that it wouldn't matter, other than for performance, if
there was some overlap, as long as every resource in the "complete set" is
returned at least once. However, I guess you do bring up a good question
because the spec should probably say whether or not any overlap of the
"identified public Query Capabilities" is allowed. Either way, it would
still be fine to have other Query Capabilities that do overlap.

Thanks, Frank.
