I want from the editors either a confirmation that the wording in section 5 was really what was intended (i.e. that a representation is *inherently* whatever you get back from a GET, as opposed to what it would be according to some ordinary-language meaning of "representation"), or a correction of the kind I suggested. The reply I got was not from an editor; it was from someone who didn't carefully read what I wrote. The blog post, and my reply to the reply, were in my opinion redundant with the original post and not suitable matter for discussion on that list. I didn't see this kind of belabored exposition as helping most readers of the list, and especially not the editors, who I expected probably understood what I was saying the first time. I am still expecting to hear something back from the editors, since they've been pretty good at eventually responding to questions like this. They're probably just overwhelmed with more important issues.
