I think that's worth the change over, since "sparql-query" does work, for both, today, though with the cost you suggest. So it's certain, but small incompatible change today versus probable, but larger incompatible change in the future. I'm not hugely committed either way, but I will note that folks deploying to an unfinished standard should be prepared for gratuitous-seeming changes... :> I'm happy leaving the change to a straw poll during tomorrow's call.
