For this one at least I think we were going to totally punt and let VOSpace
So I only see two TAP methods: a synchronous query and an asynchronous query. And I think it is important that they not be named queryData and stageData respectively. Both should have the word query in them, both should take the same ADQL string as the primary input, and async probably requires some additional stuff like credentials and preferences for VOSpace interactions to be passed around somehow.
Bit now I would like to wait for some others to comment, and they are all at home relaxing and maybe even asleep :)
