This is in fact exactly how we are approximating them. The selling point was this one: > * You get a nice 1-to-1 mapping from one subquery to one SpanQuery; > the output query trees look recognizably parallel to the input > queries, regardless of query complexity. The problem with the other "more accurate" transformations at the time were the explosion of query complexity once users started to combine them. Of course, a native SpanAndQuery would allow for a more elegant and precise 1-to-1 mapping. :) I even tried to modify one of the existing span queries to get similar behaviour, but it wasn't easy enough to get it right.
