Editorial remarks: rather than _x_ this should probably use <em> or
something like that; the other appendices have a full stop after the
letter, so the title should probably be "B. Conformance", the title
of Appendix A. is "SPARQL Grammar" not "grammar", similar for appendix
E; the references to the other appendices should be links.

The references section still has the RFC2119 reference that's never
referred to in the text, the usual "the key words ... in RFC 2119"
text seems to be missing. I assume that's editorial aswell.

I didn't review the draft against SpecGL in detail, but with these
editorial nits fixed, I think I'm happy with this. Thanks.
