IIRC John was targeting the 0.7 series, hence the SPARQL business. Is
this correct?

I'm still not clear on what you want exactly. If you do the querying
of tracker yourself, and pass conduit a list of URIs to upload then it
will already work. If you want to pass the list of URIs to Conduit and
then expect Conduit to use Tracker to query the tags then this will be
a little work. If you want to instead pass a SQL query to Conduit
describing the photos you want to upload then that is more work. The
same questions apply to a two-way sync (i.e downloading from
Flickr/Facebook)

Could you please expand on your use-case a little? Do these scenarios
come close to what you envision?
