Alternatively, a QueryReply could just be: "I have X hits,
request them from this URL". Then the originator issues a
request like what you've proposed above to finish the Query.
It's more steps, but then QueryReplies never get bloated
with tons of hits and markup/flags/metadata, and if in
fact the originator gets plenty of sufficiently good hits
early, it may never need to contact all the responders.
