Ah, this is great news. Since I started using TM, I only keep Emacs  
around for the really bad N3 mode, since I end up writing a fair bit  
of N3 by hand (alas).

It's awful.

Well, sorta-kinda. SPARQL graph patterns are pretty much the Turtle  
subset of N3, but the rest of it is more SQLish, so you may be able  
to lift bits from the SQL bundle. At any rate, a SPARQL bundle for TM  
is a Very Good Thing. :>

I'd love to use yr new bundle; is it available yet?
