Interesting. So far I have found there are machine generated ones, one that are a template for machine generation (i.e the app writer still reads the template) and purely hand written ones. I was being a SPARQL user at the weekend. I do find myself writing SPARQL queries inside programming languages (Java mainly for me) - hence the desire for 'string' to avoid \" everywhere.
