the world has very many query languages because the world has very many 
ways how data is managed and can be queried. assuming that there will be 
the one query language to end all query languages is not backed up by 
reality.

my suggestion would be to embrace diversity and make sure that there is 
a way how specific capabilities and interaction modalities can be 
represented and communicated, so that clients understand that a certain 
resource does support a certain query language.

loose coupling does allow you to do that, and media types would be a 
good way to accomplish this.
