The inference that you should draw is that your request to reopen this 
decision on the basis for new information has not yet been evaluated.

I ask you to give us a few days to evaluate the request that you have 
made.  Meanwhile I am willing to state that the fact that you "thought 
that was the reason for *URIs*, not prefixes" does not meet that bar.

P.S.  Kurt not responding to the survey is a non-issue.  From the poll 
"If you feel that your objection is already fully expressed by someone 
else, or by the Change Proposal documents, then it is not necessary to 
repeat it."
