Re: shapes-ISSUE-45 (SPARQL-extension): Should SPARQL be a built-in extension language [SHACL Spec]

Holger, your "built-in" contains a concept of conformance. I think 
conformance, especially conformance to a particular technology, is a far 
horizon for us compared to where we are today.* So "built-in" may be 
premature. Perhaps this should wait.

kc
* I personally prefer conformance to be defined in terms of input/output 
or situational results rather than specific technologies. Conformance 
rules of the former type may better endure technology evolution.
