Registry query language

[Martin Hill]

I think it's a different query (ADQL will not be sufficient - I think - for 
the tree-structured registry data) and it returns a different result (eg a 
list of VOResources? certainly VOTable will not be sufficient).  So the only 
similarity is that both have a method that takes some kind of Query Language 
and returns some kind of XML... :-)
