Description Jim Melton 2005-09-25 19:03:26 UTC 
The change from "UnionExpr" to "some complicated rewrite of UnionExpr that only
includes literals" makes the grammar more complex, makes the language less clear
and comprehensible, and adds only some questionable optimization possibilities
(the query may be optimizable statically instead of at runtime).

This issue was originally raised by Steve Buxton in member-only email archived
at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/member-query-fttf/2004Dec/0065.html
Comment 1 Sihem Amer-Yahia 2006-03-06 19:20:27 UTC 
The task force agrees that the thesauri 
names, stop word lists, and languages should be string literals. Note that 
this prevents unioning stop word lists in the query.
