Toby, The working group considered returning a service description for an OPTIONS request, but decided against it primarily due to limited support in existing tools and due to responses not being cacheable. This was discussed in a WG meeting here: http://www.w3.org/2009/sparql/meeting/2009-09-15#Service_Description As well as in email threads on the WG mailing list around the same time. We would be grateful if you would acknowledge that your comments have been answered by sending a reply to this mailing list. Regards, Gregory Williams, on behalf of the SPARQL WG.
