I just prefer commas required or commas banned. i.e. either of: a) SELECT ?x ?y ?z FROM <uri1> <uri2> <uri3> WHERE (?x ?y ?z) b) SELECT ?x, ?y, ?z FROM <uri1>, <uri2>, <uri3> WHERE (?x, ?y, ?z) (?x, ?a, ?b) and not where we are now: c) SELECT ?x ?y, ?z ?a, ?b FROM <uri1> <uri2> , <uri3> WHERE (?x ?y ?z) (?x ?a ?b) I think a) reads better but it's a weak preference +0, weak against to b) -0 and -1 to c) Dave
