Consensus isn't a value I hold highly, but review of Anne's work is 
welcome.

If the IETF community didn't want Anne to do this work, then the IETF 
community should have done it. Having not done it, having not even 
understood that the problem exists, means the IETF has lost the 
credibility it needs to claim that this is in the IETF's domain.

You don't get to claim authority over an area while at the same time 
telling someone else "please fix that" for the hard work that comes with 
that area. The reality is, he who does the hard work, gets the authority.

All very interesting, but please address the point that's now been made 
repeatedly -- why is it necessary for you to redefine URIs, rather than doing 
as we suggest?
