You're absolutely right, Arnold. But at least convergence among a few will
hopefully leave less for others to disagree about. Now that it has died down
(until people read my comments on Ray's message :) ), it is worth adding
your own comments, either as a new take on the issues you disagree with, or
as a comment to Ray's summary (http://ivoa.net/forum/registry/0470.htm) or
my comment on that (http://ivoa.net/forum/registry/0472.htm).
Cheers,
Tony.
