RE: [ALL] proposed resolution httpRange-14

Just a minor point:

For # namespaces, if the primary resource supported SPARQL queries, then the above practical difficulty disappears.

I.e. for some property named http://www.foo.com/vocab#prop , if the resource http://www.foo.com/vocab supported GET with a SPARQL query as a parameter, then there's no problem for large vocabs.

As a general note, this sort of practice is an example of giving an agent more power to specify its requirements when attempting to discover 'authoritative' semantic web descriptions.  With the current practices (wrt both # and / namespaces) the agent has no power to specify its requirements - it can only GET and HOPE!  I would like to see some fresh discussion of possible best practices that take these kinds of consideration into account.

Cheers, 

Al.
