If I understand correctly, the new GL3 buffer object queries

That would make sense, but in fact the extension spec
(http://www.opengl.org/registry/specs/ARB/map_buffer_range.txt)
says nothing about these queries. They were added in GL 3.0.
It seems like this could be an error in the extension spec. This is
one of the extensions, like ARB_framebuffer_object, that "back ports"
OpenGL 3.0 functionality to previous versions. These extensions are
supposed to provide *identical* functionality to OpenGL 3.0. The
other cases of mismatches have been determined to be bugs in the
extension specs.
The question is, what do other implementations do? The other other
question is, are there any implementations that support
ARB_map_buffer_range but not OpenGL 3.0?
I'm sure the ARB would agree that omitting the queries was an
oversight and that they should be there.
I'd be OK with just adding them but if we want to be consistent with
other implementations and omit them, I could live with that. Nobody's
seemed to complain/notice so far.
