Question:Without a full LINQ provider is the Repository only a mirage ?

So far I saw a lot of IRepository looking as a DAO (and I'm using DAO).
This is the definition of Repository:
http://martinfowler.com/eaaCatalog/repository.html
and the QueryObject
http://martinfowler.com/eaaCatalog/queryObject.html

<http://martinfowler.com/eaaCatalog/repository.html>Did you see a repository
implementing ICollection<T> and nothing more ?

When we will have more powerful LINQ provider, Steve Strong is working on it
(thanks Steve and iMeta), we may have:
IRepository<T>:  ICollection<T>, IQueryable<T>

and at that point we can say "I'm using the Repository pattern"

btw Repository+QueryObject can be enough so far
