If the Query API isn't tested well, this is also an issue.  Since EC2
ecosystem by-in-large don't use SOAP interfaces, any faults in the Query
API should be treated with higher priority, than SOAP anyway.  I'm happy to
help testing the Query interface, especially if it gets us closer to
deleting the SOAP one.
