A processor should have the right to reject queries for any reason whatsoever. Maybe it is implementing the protocol by passing the queries off to a team of lowly-paid humans who don't feel like working that day. It's important that 'being a SPARQL service' isn't seen as writing a 'blank cheque' ie. opening oneself up to unknown and neverending costs. I've not checked thru the protocol spec for this but I do take it as fundamental that as a SPARQL service, I've the right to refuse any queries I like.(*) Dan (*) for now avoiding any discussion of whether local anti-discrimination laws apply to semantic web services...
