[Jutta Degener]:

  Hm.  That's a reasonable offer, Kjetil, but I'd rather eat the
  complexity as an implementor than to place it on the users and
  client writers by making this be an implementation-specific
  difference.

well, that is one side of it.  the other side is that of the server
administrators.  if you must support multipass searches in body, this
may be a performance hit for servers.  the administrator has few
options: pray that people won't use it too often, buy more hardware
(RAM!), or turn off the body extension altogether.
