I expect that this works now with #ask, *BUT* there already is a format for
what you want to do. It is called "embedded" and it can be customised with
the following parameters:
* embedformat = {h1, h2, h3, ol, ul} (how to format the result list)
* embedonly = true (whether to leave away the headlines)
This must, however, be combined with <noinclude> so as not to import semantic
data or category data to the page that asks the query (especially when using
#ask). Embed also works for annotation-objects, e.g. to print the
query "[[some page]] [[links to::*]]" -- then all the values of "links to"
will be embedded. Other than the "first column", print requests
for "embedded" are usually ignored. Also, there are known ways of cyclic
embedding that may lead to infinite inclusion loops (though in practice these
tend to be as finite as available memory).

Yes, I already use this for my (semi-)blog that is based on SMW :-) (not that
I am very active as a blogger, but anyway here is the example page, mostly
generated by a query: http://korrekt.org/index.php/Blog).
