If you have OFFSET and LIMIT in use, you can reflect the new state of
affairs when the next GET is performed i.e, lets say you have OFFSET 20 and
LIMIT 20, the URL with OFFSET 40 is the request for the next batch of
results from the solution and the one that would reflect the new state of
affairs.
This requires the client to page from the outset. Ideally there would
be a way for a server to force paging where it needed to. At the
moment though there's no way for a server to indicate that its done
that, e.g. by including a "next page" link in the results.

This also moves us towards a more hypermedia approach where clients
don't need to construct URIs: the server provides them.

The community could decide on some extension elements/keys that could
be used in SPARQL XML/JSON results formats to achieve this. If the
link element in the existing format were a little more flexible [1]
then this option would be available. We could still use the atom link
element as an extension though with existing rel values (which
addresses other use cases).

Yep!

This is what we (the community) should all be towards instead of prematurely concluding that nothing is possible etc..
