I guess I'm one of the ignorant few who don't realize the obvious reasons
for not committing an HQL syntax. :) It would make migrating to (or simply
trying out) OJB a no-brainer. As it is, we would have to learn the OJB query
syntax and rewrite these parts of our code.

I hope it wasn't an attempt *not* to pay homage to a good idea. :)
