Asynchronous querying and tabular data

[Patrick Dowler]

Agreed. On a practical level this means we don't have to define all the stuff 
VOSpace can do and -- more importantly even -- it is easier for the TAP 
implemention to be a VOSpace client than manage the resources necessary to 
stage the result itself. you can write a more or less stateless TAP service 
where a request has a finite lifetime and you don't have to do cleanup and 
resource management later on.
