I am a "true linguist" and I have confidence in this project, its  
chair, and the consensus we have.

It doesn't. This is nonsense.

I don't see any reason for us to conform to your architectural concept.

THIS SENTENCE DOES NOT MEAN ANYTHING.

At this point I think that you are yet another of Morfin's sock  
puppets. His "unique" linguistic constructions include, regularly,  
meaningless phrases like "digital ecosystem convergence is meeting the  
semantic emergence". I am sure that this means just as little in  
French as it does in English.

It *is* legitimate.

He is a troll, in my view and my experience. Evidently I am not alone  
in holding this view.

Please do not pretend to speak for a billion users.
