I could see #2 being lessened to strong consideration and recommendation
for implementations, rather than a hard requirement.

But I think #3, for an RDF Query solution, is pretty reasonable, though
it could perhaps be phrased more generically as "results by default should
be returned in a standardized RDF serialization".
