Two PRISM Questions

1) Why is it required to give your address and phone number to
download the PRISM specification materials?

http://www.prismstandard.org/specifications/PRISM13form2.asp

2) Why do the property names minted by PRISM resolve with a 404?

$ curl -Is http://prismstandard.org/namespaces/1.2/basic/issn
HTTP/1.1 404 Object Not Found

The conjunction of these two things today dissuaded a Semantic Web
developer on the Semantic Web Interest Group channel from using the
PRISM specification in an application.
