A processor should have the right to reject queries for any reason
whatsoever. Maybe it is implementing the protocol by passing 
the queries off to a team of lowly-paid humans who don't feel like
working that day. It's important that 'being a SPARQL service' isn't 
seen as writing a 'blank cheque' ie. opening oneself up to unknown
and neverending costs. I've not checked thru the protocol spec for 
this but I do take it as fundamental that as a SPARQL service, I've the 
right to refuse any queries I like.(*)
