I don't know about this group address the matter of scrollable cursors 
based on partial query results as enablers of faceted navigation over 
massive data sets. This matter ultimate includes:

1. text scores -- partial results including text scores on literal values
2. entity ranking -- so partial results that are also entity ranked .

This is a hardcore DBMS issue. LOD2 (EU FP7) more closely aligned to 
these kinds challenges as exemplified work taking place at the lower 
DBMS layers based on collaboration between OpenLink and CWI.

The unaddressed issues that you mention had already been raised shortly after the publishing of the "linked data principles", years ago. I find it is a pity if they remain unanswered, because this can jeopardize one of the major benefits of RDF and Linked Data: the ability to publish data that can then easily been read, aggregated and used in generic ways.
