I mention this because one SPARQL server that I just tried barfed on a query that began with a comment, which seem rather unfriendly. When I checked the SPARQL spec I see that section 19.4 says that comments are treated as white space http://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-query/#grammarComments but the discussion of whitespace in sec 19.3 http://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-query/#whitespace says that whitespace is used to *separate* two terminals. Thus AFAICT, as currently written the spec currently forbids whitespace before and after a Query or Update, which certainly seems wrong, as whitespace (or comments) should be allowed both before and after.
