Re: Spec names

+1 to versionless names (1) and Versioned name infix (2).

The SPARQL 1.0 version-less name is

https://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-sparql-query/

and it has an prominent box:

"New Version Available: SPARQL 1.1 (Document Status Update, 26 March 2013)"

So maybe redirect "rdf-sparql-query" to sparql12-query or sparql12-overview.

It is in http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-rdf-sparql-query-20080115/ as well.

(At least change the link to SPARQL latest)
