Defining URI semantics in media types

[mnot]

" Whether and how the URI's query part directly affects the result of the query can be defined in media type definitions for QUERY."

ON the face of it, this seems like a violation of BCP 190 / RFC 8820...

Well, that's what we agreed on something like this in the meeting:

#3004 (comment)

How about:

As for all HTTP methods in general, the target URI's query part takes part in identifying the resource being queried and therefore is not part of the actual query. Whether and how the URI's query part directly affects the result of the query is implementation specifc and out of scope for this specification.

Works for me.
