        This specification defines a simple query protocol for
        retrieving records from a catalog of astronomical sources. The
        query describes sky position and an angular distance, defining
        a cone on the sky. The response returns a list of astronomical
        sources from the catalog whose positions lie within the cone,
        formatted as a VOTable. This version of the specification is
        essentially a transcription of the original Cone Search
        specification in order to move it into the IVOA
        standardization process. Note that
        the metadata used to describe a Cone Search service in the registry
        is defined in the SimpleDALRegExt standard 
        (ivo://www.ivoa.net/std/SimpleDALRegExt; 
        http://www.ivoa.net/Documents/SimpleDALRegExt/).
