It's not "reinventing", it's standardizing. 'withtext' is not a
standard form field (implementations using it are violating XEP-0068),
and there is a need for a standard form field.

There is a bunch more stuff to consider, such as locale of the search
query and any advanced search syntax so that clients can provide the
correct UI to the user.

I don't think this protoXEP is anywhere near finished, but it's a
necessary start.
