  *

  * This DTD describes the structure and content of XML documents used

  * to represent, store, and exchange a simple path-based query expression.

  * This syntax represents a small subset of the capabilities of the XPath 

  * language (http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath), and is intended as a simple

  * query language for the metadata catalog database (mcdb).  It is 

  * intended that all expressions in this language can be mapped directly

  * into XPath syntax, but not all Xpath expressions can be mapped into this

  * syntax.

  *

  * Although ideally we would implement the query language as either the full

  * XPath language or as one of the emerging XML query languages (like

  * XML-QL or XQL), in practice this would be an involved undertaking that

  * doesn't necessarily have high payoffs.  But we will revisit this issue and

  * determine later whether these full-featured technologies are warranted

  * after we have some experience with a simpler implementation such as this.
