I've never really understood why URLs are the preferred mechanism for storing these queries. They're nice for a one-off, but make collaboration (what wikis excel at) incredibly difficult, because if you want to adjust or update a query, you have to create a brand new URL and redistribute it. Is it just me or is that not even a goal of WDQS? Collaboration isn't even mentioned in the user story. Especially if we're talking about documenting queries, that seems like something you really want collaboration support for. We have a really good mechanism for storing text, distributing text, patrolling changes to text, and linking to text (wikis, in case it wasn't clear), so I just don't get why people want to do it all in URLs. Finding some fancy compression algorithm to squeeze even more characters into less bytes is a solution technically, but I don't think it really makes the service any better.
