> Spinoff of LUCENE-2879.
> You can see a full description there, but the gist is that SpanQuery sums up 
> freqs with "sloppyFreq".
> However this slop is simply spans.end() - spans.start()
> For a SpanTermQuery for example, this means its scoring 0.5 for TF versus 
> TermQuery's 1.0.
> As you can imagine, I think in practical situations this would make it 
> difficult for SpanQuery users to
> really use SpanQueries for effective ranking, especially in combination with 
> non-Spanqueries (maybe via DisjunctionMaxQuery, etc)
> The problem is more general than this simple example: for example 
> SpanNearQuery should be consistent with PhraseQuery's slop.
