The present state of it is pretty much useful as an AST for a SPARQL parser, since Bryan Thompson and I pretty much just synched up on that effort. Once I've finished rewriting the remaining dozen or so queries from rq23, and worked on a schema for all of this, I'll share it with the group. I've started work on a specification for the serialization, but it'll be a little while longer yet. (One thing that would have made this easier is if rq23 were well-formed, so I could have extracted all the <pre class="query"> bits by machine. I used a "tag soup" parser and got most of them, though.) Kendall PS--Yeah, I know, this isn't protocol work per se, but there are connections and dependencies, I think, between our on-the-wire/exchange serialization and the protocol, so I don't feel like it's wasted or irrelevant effort.
