Re: PROPOSED: that SPARQL advance to CR

Dan,

Thanks for clarifying the process, specifically that old issues cannot 
be re-argued once we enter CR.
I am trying hard to get it to a stage where I can vote YES for the 
transition. But, I do need to first get an okay from folks in my 
organization.

In the mean time, I have prepared the attached write-up for use in 
communicating with Fred Zemke regarding his comments that have so far 
not been responded to specifically, 4 major technical comments and 6 
minor technical comments. Also, I did not see any response to his 
editorial comments. Regarding blank nodes, although already answered, I 
thought Pat Hayes' draft response for that was written very well and can 
be communicated to him. Btw, is it okay for non-DAWG members to see 
e-mails exchanged inside DAWG? I know those are public, but ...

Thanks,
- Souri.
