On second thought, as I get more into the SPIN Modeling Vocabulary document, I'm thinking an API that can handle proper execution of predefined spin:Function's and spin:Template's referenced by indivdual SPIN queries would be very nice to have. This functionality gets into a lot more than just throwing a string at ARQ and getting the results. Do you forsee publishing those kinds of APIs at a future date?

Then, whenever you edit a SPIN query, the system will also create the textual form and attach it to the sp:Select/sp:Construct subject using sp:text. Then these strings will be stored in parsable form together with your model. Does this cover your main use case, or will you soon need the other direction as well?
