I'm afraid that I have to disagree regarding putting more about SPARQL
into the RDFa Primer. I think it's fine to mention it and that SPARQL is
useful for querying and analyzing semantic data, but anything more in
the RDFa Primer would be too much, IMHO.

BTW, great job on the Primer, Ben. It's a fantastic improvement - and
something that I think all that are teaching/evangelizing RDFa should
take note of:

- There is no need to introduce N3 right away when drawing the RDF graph
  makes more sense to beginners.

I think that concept alone is the biggest contributing factor to the
readability of the new document. Great job, Ben :)
