Hi Jeff,

spl contains the built-in functions of the official SPARQL spec. These  
are already implemented by the SPARQL engines and therefore do not  
require a spin:body. Instead, as you state, the spin:symbol is used to  
render them into string format for execution. I have put them into the  
sp namespace to indicate that they are standard functions, and so that  
arbitrary standard SPARQL queries can be exchanged with the use of the  
sp namespace only.
