[Mulgara-general] SPARQL Endpoint format parameter

[Paul Gearon]

Yes, this was a known bug in 2.1.1. Selecting other formats would only  
work on CONSTRUCT queries, not for SELECT or ASK. Using 2.1.2 should  
fix it. Please let me know if it doesn't.

Also (and this is addressed to everyone, not you specifically Chuck),  
because there's been recent confusion on this, I'd like to point out  
that "default-graph-uri" is for overriding the graph used in the  
query, not for setting a default fallback value. And the main reason  
for the "format" parameter is for use with browsers. Everything else  
should use content negotiation.

Regards,
Paul
