Are you seriously suggesting that the protocol should define that  
error messages be communicated in JSON or Turtle or something else  
that requires a parser other than an XML parser?

If so, then can you give me an example of an existing SPARQL client  
that parses error messages but does not parse successful responses?

And if that is not the case, then what is the closest equivalent in  
another, similar, protocol?

Thanks,
Richard
