Re: Comments on SPARQL draft (pt. 1) (insert)

(PS, following the points in Kendall's note) 

Just a vague question - how aligned with the (HTTP) Web are/should be
the SPARQL QL and Protocol?

The mention of SOAP got me thinking, where there's been a drift from
the full range of HTTP methods down to GET and POST. Now there seems
to be a backlash against the extent of the abstraction of the WS-*
specs, folks turning back towards RESTfulness.

Also, although I can understand the one-thing-at-a-time aspect of
leaving the TELL side of comms until later, there does seem to be a
precedent not far away with Web browsers being built in a primarily
read-only environment. I don't know, it may be totally irrelevant. For
that matter IE7 may support PUT...

Cheers,
Danny.
