I have added these two things under:   
 
   http://www.w3.org/2009/sparql/wiki/SPARQL_Errata#SPARQL_XML_Results
 
We shall probably discuss at some point how/whether we address these since we didn't have a re-publication of the SPARQL XML Result format planned.

An ASK query of one word isn't compliant with that, and can't be
compliant with TSV.

So either:

1/ New mime type.  Seems a bit heavy.

2/ Invent a dummy legal framework: e.g. a variable called "answer"

CSV:
--------------
answer
true
--------------

TSV:
--------------
?answer
true
--------------
