First of all, thanks for the feedback, we have tried to address all your comments in the current Editor's draft, see:

http://www.w3.org/2009/sparql/docs/sparql11-overview/Overview.xml

Where we deviate from your suggestions, we explain below.

We'd appreciate if you could acknowledge that this adequately addresses your comment.

Axel, on behalf of the SPARQL WG
