Looks good to me.

Given the I-D noted, and our recent brief survey, it's clear to me this 
area is not one where there is clear deployed approach.  I don't think a 
SPARQL specific one is a good idea.  So "place no impediments" to 
emerging approaches is the best principle.  The proposed resolution is 
the best way forward.
