SPARQL works from anywhere. It already works from any device connected 
to the Web via SPARQL Protocol URLs.

Subjective, depends on the implementation. Some (like ours) have WebID 
over TLS (aka WebID authentication) baked in, down to the very finest 
levels you can imagine.

That isn't what SPARQL is about, of course you can use it that way, but 
that isn't what it is about, in this context.

Anyway, I supported SPARQL on a "devil's advocate" basis (re. previous 
post) since LDP is supposed to be based on the Linked Data principles 
meme, and that meme makes an equal basis reference to RDF and SPARQL. In 
reality, for uptake practicality reasons, I personally wouldn't mandate 
SPARQL support (via MUST)  for LDP.

Until we have a clean conceptual guide for LDP, we will keep on tripping 
over all of these nuances, unfortunately.

We have to be clear about the mission here. How much of the Linked Data 
or RDF based Linked Data principles are going to be mandatory ?
