I don't really understand what the REMIND resolution means so I'm not  
going to mess with it. However, it seems in any case this is blocked  
on an update of IRIbis to address comments.

I agree that in light of subsequent discussion we can't yet close  
ISSUE-56. We need (a) progress on IRIbis, or else further advancement  
for the Web Address spec; (b) some sort of group agreement on whether  
using the term URL in a nonstandard way is livable, and if not what  
term should be used instead. I will leave (b) to the Chairs.

Maciej
