I do have a concern though, when writing SPARQL-FED I now have to figure 
out URL patterns for every SPARQL endpoint that does this. Why hasn't 
this been presented to the SPARQL group as a potential tweak of the 
SPARQL protocol? In addition, if you adopt WebID as an authentication 
mechanism you won't even have this problem at all i.e., no spec changes 
to SPARQL, it will just work, and you can control or track usage of the 
endpoint.
