Hi, Bret -

The points you raise with regard to STIX Observed Data and SCO were
already examined at great length during the Great Arglebargle Debate
of 2016. In due course of time, the TC reached consensus on the
current approach and work progressed from there.

Whether or not the approach we took was the *ideal* technical solution
is irrelevant. STIX 2.0 went through multiple CSDs (including multiple
public comment periods during which concerns were raised and addressed
by the community), then we progressed to a CS via a series of TC-wide
ballots.

The ship has sailed, Bret. We're not going to rip out and redo Parts
3-5. The 2.0 specification is final and people are now busily
implementing it.

We have many pressing matters pertaining to the evolution of STIX 2.1
(and beyond) demanding our collective attention and effort. Let's keep
our focus on moving forward as a community.
