As I pointed out before, what you actually said was:-

+Properties: While a detailed judgment would have to be made against a 
+specific proposal, as a new kind of type properties would most likely be at 
+least medium-sized.

This is NOT the same as saying it is listed as out of scope, and the reason
given is that it is likely to be "at least medium sized".  My proposal is
(at least to my eyes) smaller than many that are being accepted, and 
so would therefore seem to fall INSIDE the scope, NOT outside it.

What I am asking for is what you said in your blog, that a detailed judgment
should be make against this specific proposal.
