q – reserved property vs parameter?

Quoting from https://www.w3.org/TR/micropub/#reserved-properties:

A few POST body property names are reserved when requests are sent as x-www-form-urlencoded or multipart/form-data.
[…]
q - used to query a Micropub endpoint

but q= is only used during GET requests as a query-string parameter, and it's probably intended to reserve it for this use.

(https://www.w3.org/TR/micropub/#h-note2 already mentions that the endpoint URL can contain other parameters)

True, q isn't a reserved parameter for POST requests. GET requests don't need to list reserved parameters because the GET requests don't allow for arbitrary parameters anyway. I will just remove it from the list of reserved POST parameters.

This change is made here: https://micropub.net/draft/#reserved-properties

Please close the issue if you are satisfied, thanks!
