FWIW, SOAP and HTTP GET are not mutually exclusive, as SOAP 1.2 supports the "Web Method feature"[1] which permits SOAP envelopes to be returned via HTTP GET. I would hope that SPARQL and Joseki would opt for this approach, but failing that (or in addition to), I'd suggest the "document oriented" style of service where it's just query-document-in, query-result-out via SOAP & HTTP POST. This is in contrast to the Google API style RPC based interface which is still commonly associated with Web services.
