Well I have provided strong and substantive objections for a start.

Ah no! I forgot! They cannot possibly be "substantive" because you are

And I note that there have been no voices in support of the idea. You  
need more than lack of objections, substantive or otherwise, to change  
something that is already on the standards-track.
