No, I don't think you are off the track. If you exchange reinventing with
revising above, you answer your own question, at least in my view of the
problem, in the middle two lines:

It is not so much about the very query language, but about the query
interface as a whole. That touches the features that OO QLs offer, as well
as the languages themselves.
Read Carl's initial paper, where he outlines his ideas.
