Is that why you "RESOLVED" the issue without consulting the list first?

If Andy did something like that, he'd be up for another ban...

With all due respect, Tantek - I was attempting to make the definition
of "namespace" that the Microformats community uses far more accurate -
to clarify the "no namespaces" stance that the community has. By
shutting down the discussion, you've single-handedly pre-empted that
improvement to the wiki. An improvement that would help new comers to
this list and Microformats understand what we mean by "no namespaces".

It was an improvement that the community largely agrees with, but the
namespaces page doesn't express[1]. You even agree to this sentiment in
the e-mail you quote in the "RESOLUTION" section[2].

I'm disappointed that this discussion is being pre-emptively shut
down... just when it seemed as if we were making progress.
