Re: PROV-ISSUE-331: feedback on PROV-Dm WD5

Paul,

I appreciate your problem.  But I have to call things as I see them - I don't 
think we should sacrifice quality to schedule.  And, in any case, if I'm right, 
you'll get all these issues raised in last call by people outside the WG.

If the rest of the group think it's OK to go ahead, then as chair you need to go 
with the group consensus, which doesn't have to be unanimous.  (FWIW, I'd 
probably vote to abstain (-0) rather than oppose (-1) - but I'd want my concerns 
to remain on record.)
