1. WSDL does allow this, but not with the way I've written the bindings.
WSDL allows someone to define a new binding that changes the parameter names
in HTTP. And, as the spec is written presently, it does not say that the
bindings (either SOAP or HTTP or both) are normative and have to be
supported for a service to be compliant.

These are issues that the WG will be taking up and we'll get back to you
with an answer.

2. The inconsistency is a mistake on my part, i.e., not intentional.

3. I'm going to rename the parameter in the HTTP bindings from "query" to
"sparql-query" -- which will also mean renaming all of the examples, too.

Thanks for yr feedback, Arjohn. Stay tuned for a response from the WG about
the issues raised in (1).

Cheers, 
Kendall
