Hehe, I also had to learn to speak schema to write it :-)

is this not equivalent to:

<or>
  <proximity>
    <property name="body">
    <string>caudal</string>
    <string>vertebra</string>
  </proximity>

  <proximity>
    <property name="body">
    <string>dorsal</string>
    <string>vertebra</string>
  </proximity>
</or>

? The Xapian query compiler would probably optimise this to " (caudal or
dorsal) prox vertebra" - but I hjonestly don't know anything about that...

Cheers,
Mikkel
