No, they are not.

I looked at this, and made the call to release without documentation
for them for several reasons:
1) We needed to release.
2) Our other resolvers are not documented either.  If we needed to
document the RelationalResolver and DistributedResolver in order to
release then Kowari shouldn't have been released with its undocumented
resolvers either.  I also didn't have time to document all of the
resolvers in the next few weeks.
3) We needed to release.
4) The updates to TQL for Predicate-Object lists and Object lists
would also take time.  The only docs I know of are from Andrae's email
when he checked them in.  Again, I didn't have the time to get it done
soon.
5) We needed to release.

So "lack of documentation" should probably go into the "known
problems" part of the README file.  :-)

Anyway, I'm trying to write code, administer the web site and server,
coordinate the release, etc.  While I'd like to do the docs, I just
can't see myself getting the time.
