This isn't a point-wise tweak - it goes right to the design style of the 
SPARQL language.

It is unnecessary for keyword forms so let's not introduce variation 
now.  There are no copy-and-paste issues except it would break 
new-turtle into SPARQL.

DOT is used as triples separator in SPARQL, not after each clause or 
keyword phrase.  In other places, it gets confusing IMO - eg. FROM, 
after SPARQL Update operations (when multiple in same request).  It is 
all unnecessary.

It is not

SELECT ?s .
FROM <http://example/location> .
WHERE .
{
    ?s :p ?v .
}
ORDER BY ?v .

nor

DELETE { ?s :p 123 } .
INSERT { ?s :p 456 } .
WHERE  { ?s :q "foo" } .
; ....

nor an optional @ anywhere.

This isn't a point-wise tweak - it goes to the design style of the 
SPARQL language.
