Can I propose we support three Query operation types? Currently we have two (Summary and Details) or which no one has implemented the recursive Details. I think we should revise the definition to the following:
I'm going to make a bold claim here: 19 out 20 queries will be for status retrieval. However that is very easy to extract from a query containing all the local information, so I don't really see the value of "give me some of the local information" vs. "give me all the local information". Just give it all, and I can extract what I need. On a side note: I have intended to look at the queryresult types before suggesting this, but haven't gotten around to it: Are the two query result types so different that they couldn't be one?
