If I'm writing client code I would probably want to support as many query parameters as possible to work with as many servers as possible, and having all client query parameters specified in one document would probably be easier than having to worry about multiple documents. A server operator that doesn't support a particular type of query can just return an appropriate HTTP response.

Good point. I still agree with Francisco's idea of separating search drafts out.

Perhaps we should think about an Informational that describes everything and references all the drafts. I think the original URN working group did this.
