    <thetext>The text in section 3.3.7 Wildcard Option says that wildcard indicators
are mandatory when the &quot;with wildcards&quot; option is present.

(1) The text (which is currently being revised for other reasons) is a 
little ambiguous, but tends to imply that a wildcard indicator must be
present in every search token in the query string. Or is it just _some_ token
in the query string.
(2) Whether some or all, there seems little justification for this requirement,
which just makes life that much more complicated for query-builders or generic
query applications.  

Recommendation: Just kill the requirement.</thetext>
