RE: [tm-pubsubj-comment] Baltimore minutes

Given the number of comments on the minutes, either I did not attend the
right meeting in Baltimore, either I was very tired (or both).

OK. Will fix that in the minutes.

OK. I did miss that point during the meeting, but it's a good one. And
it certainly has to be included in the recommendations of Deliverable 2,
something like:

"A Published Subject Indicator should include an explicit declaration of
its identifier."
