I think the WG considered this argument under the DESCRIBE issue.
  http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/DataAccess/issues#DESCRIBE

which, by the way, was closed without consensus, i.e. over an
objection. So that will have to get reviewed when we request CR/PR.
Though I don't see sufficient new information to re-open this issue in
the WG, I have noted your comment under the DESCRIBE issue so that it
will be part of that review.

Feel free to add any further arguments that perhaps the WG
has not considered, and please stay tuned for our last call
documents; I hope by then we will have achieved a greater
level of consensus.
