Why should we do this? Did the recent poll create a convincing majority 
for the "separatists"?

Why should we break the current consistency of the single document? I 
have done my best to move the SPARQL bits to part 2 (sections 7 
onwards), as requested by several people including yourself, Arnaud. The 
core bits are clearly marked at such. I have proven that this spec can 
be implemented without SPARQL. This should be enough for now. We can 
decide for a split at some later stage, once we are certain that all 
pieces work together. Introducing a split now is unhelpful towards that 
goal.
