Probably because I was advocating use straight forward HTTP URI instead 
of LSID, you might think my "consensus" as not use LSID at all.  But I 
have only stressed that LSID needs "change" not be "abandoned" in order 
to make it more widely adopted.   Isn't this a consensus?

In all honesty, if anyone thinks that LSID in its status quo will become 
widely adopted, he or she must be living in fantasy because the history 
of LSID has showed its momentum is going down not up!
