Argh, and as I go to edit the proposal, I see that I had _already_
proposed that Article should have the "periodical" property added to
it so that it could link directly to a Periodical, rather than having
to be intermediated by an Issuance (which anticipated the cases like
arxiv.org that were brought up on today's call as one objection to my
proposal of introducing Issuance).

We seriously need to do a better job of doing our homework *between*
calls, so that we don't waste too much time just getting caught up
during the call, or dealing with brand-new concerns that are only
brought up during the call (and which therefore typically cannot
generate well-researched and considered answers during said call).
That's simply not an efficient way of getting work done when calls
only happen in one-month intervals. One of the reasons I pulled the
Periodical proposal together before the call was to have something
concrete to focus on representing what we had previously discussed via
email, along with concrete examples of markup - but I accept that the
proposal came very late. Had it been earlier, perhaps we could have
made more progress on the list and been able to come to agreement
during the call.

As it stands, I hope we can maintain our focus and wrap up this
proposal in time for our next call in early December.
