Yes that was the rationalization but I'm trying to be practical and deal
with the real world.
Please consider this carefully:
I have put an autodiscovery <link> element at
http://www.loc.gov/standards/sru/osru/
<link rel="search"
href="http://www.loc.gov/standards/sru/osru/opensearchdescription.xml"
type="application/opensearchdescription+xml"
title="LC SRU" />
In the decription file, in the template, I have: query={searchTerms}
And Firefox recognizes the search engine, so that you can select it from the
Firefox search box in the upper right and send a CQL query, and it works.
Try it.
And that would not be possible if I didn't say: query={searchTerms}
Is that not sufficient justification?
