Don't know of any other documentation. There might be some minimal page 
on the wiki somewhere, but I can never find it either although I have 
some memory of seeing it once, it didn't have anything that the blog 
post didn't.

I think 'mm' _should_ work as a LocalParam in a nested query, I use it 
myself in code and it seems to work.

But not too surprised that 'fq' doesn't (although I haven't verified 
that myself). If indeed it doesn't, here would be a hacky way to get the 
same semantics, although it won't use the filter cache for the fq.

If this doesn't work:

&defType=lucene&q= _query_:"{!edismax qf='p,q,r' fq='field1:xyz'}abc
def" AND _query_:"{!edismax mm=100% qf='q, r, s'}jlk"


Then this should, we can just put it in our top-level lucene query as an 
additional condition.

&defType=lucene&q= (_query_:"{!edismax qf='p,q,r'}abc def"  AND 
field1:xyz) AND _query_:"{!edismax mm=100% qf='q, r, s'}jlk"

Yeah, this starts to get painful, agreed, with unclear performance 
implications.
