Re: Protocol changes

HI,

A few minor comments as well rom my side (follow-up of ACTION-103, I  
didn't realize the protocol doc was sent before)

Also OK for FPWD besides:
- This protocol was developed by the W3C RDF Data Access Working Group  
(DAWG), -> should mention the new WG as well (Abstract section)
- Link for "SPARQL Working Group" is to http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/DataAccess/ 
  -> same issue (Status of this document)
- Some note may be added in Security regarding updates

Best,

Alex.
