Great question! My opinion inline...

Dear API WG,
We've got ourselves into a bike shedding situation[1] w/r the WG
filtering suggestion[2]. What we find difficult is to express the
ISO8601 time intervals[3][4] in accordance to the filtering suggestion.
We'd like to have support for specifying multiple time intervals a node
introspection can belong to as a filter criterion.

Currently, we propose:

?finished_at=<ISOdate_a>/<ISOdate_b>&finished_at=<ISOdate_c>/<ISOdate_d>&...

The issue I have with the is that it uses a / character to delimit the a and b dates.

In keeping with the style of the API-WG filter operators, I would propose something like this:

?finished_at=between:ISO_DATE_A:ISO_DATE_B&finished_at=between:ISO_DATE_C:ISO_DATE_D

Best,
-jay

denoting following Python condition:
      (ISOdate_a <= finished_at < ISOdate_b) or (ISOdate_c <=
finished_at < ISOdate_d) or...

How does one best express this query in accordance to the WG filtering
suggestion?

Thanks,
milan
