This looks really cool! I'd like to understand the current limitations. The
above doc describes paging over "blank-node-free" triples. Is that to
simplify ordering? Would it also work with a deeper ordering like dbooth et
al have discussed on semantic-web?

.

The slides mention improved cache hits. These cache effectively move some
of your working result set into http-level (and thus sharable, if multiple
clients happen to ask overlapping queries) caches. Have to poked at what
happens when to make the unit of exchange a cannonicalized graph pattern
instead of just a triple pattern? (I note that your slides say "go play" so
maybe that's up to us.)
