OK, maybe I'm getting suspicious in my (still slowly) advancing years:

Nowhere in the message did I see words like, "The Trust has consulted 
with lawyers/doctors/priests/old-crusty-IETFers and have found no 
disadvantages to identifying the RFC Series with an ISSN." Did the 
Trust actually find no potential problems (in which case it would be 
nice to hear that), have they not looked into it yet, or did they 
find problems and you're not saying because you don't want to have a 
big public discussion (in which case you're being dopey, because it's 
gonna happen anyway)?

(For the record, had you said that the Trust did in fact consult the 
tea leaves and everything looked on the up-and-up and they were 
simply confirming this with the community, I would have immediately 
said, "Fine with me." I'm happy to have people to whom such things 
can be delegated, but I do want to hear the words "We've done our due 
diligence.")
