I think it's a healthy approach for feeding LDPNext Charter...

Here my thoughts over some of those points.

This takes us too see how SPARQL and LDP actually fit together. From our 
experience sharing the same backend among both technologies we have 
identified many potential issues. But indeed that moves paging into 
another priority.

I'd not add pull capabilities to the LDP protocol... but probably 
because I do not see a general use case there.

So the option to define a default Prefer header for resource, just just 
per request, right? That could be interesting.

+1 we also have identified many used cases where that would be nice to 
have it.

> == 7.  DELETE WHERE

That's clearly part of the first point.

> == 10.  Access Control

I have to admit I lost the connection with that task force, so we need 
to catch up and come to real-world solutions.

> == 11.  Combined Metadata and Content operations

I'd not mess-up content as metadata, but rather properly linking (e.g., 
dct:hasFormat/dct:isFormatOf) to the different representations of LDP-RS 
and LDP-NR.

> 12.  Forwarding

+1 for having ldp mv, but probably I'd prefer a solution where the 
action should get materialized in the model as LDP-R. Versioning is 
again interesting having such kind of operations in the protocol.

Let's keep discussing.

Cheers,
