Re: vote to public our spec as a committee spec [was: System URIs]

[Paul Grosso <pgrosso@arbortext.com>]

With chagrin and apologies, I must retract my affirmative early vote.

See my email on normalization of (non public) entries.

Since we aren't going to make the May 31 cutoff for a final spec
anyway, I don't see the rush to publish a draft with which there
remains so many issues.  Let's plan to work through the issues in
email and see if we can reach a point where we're all comfortable
with what we have in a couple weeks.  Then we can publish it.
