Does that mean that in your view we have done a satisfactory job which 
we do not believe may need review at some point in the future, as 
opposed to, what I thought was the case, that we have done the best we 
can, given limitations, but that for GRDDL 2.0 (if such a thing ever 
happens) this should certainly be looked at again?

The reason for asking is that in the first case (a satisfactory job) the 
record is correct (a closed issue), whereas in the second case (as good 
as we could do, but unsatisfactory) a postponed issue would be a better 
record.

I was not present when the decision was made, and do not wish to argue 
about the content of the decision - I am merely trying to ensure that 
the record is correct.
