In the wake of our discussion last week, the lack of subsequent 
discussion, and our time and experience constraints, I plan to propose 
on Tuesday that the SPARQL 1.1 service description cover the SPARQL 
Protocol _only_, and that it not discuss graph stores or the dataset 
protocol at all. Specifically:

PROPOSED: The SPARQL 1.1 Service Description describes endpoints that 
implement the SPARQL 1.1 Protocol; it does not describe URIs that 
respond to the SPARQL 1.1 RDF Dataset HTTP Protocol.

Please consider this email a "last call" on this topic -- if you have an 
alternative proposal, now would be a good time to share it.

Even if we do resolve this, we probably need to clarify the relationship 
between Graph Stores and Datasets more, as Chime pointed out last week.
