Understood.

If possible, we would like that indeed because there are operational and
ongoing implementations of the intended relation type. These have, thus
far, used "identifier" as per the discussion that was had here. But I would
like to be able to get in touch asap with known developers & update the
recommendations at http://signposting.org regarding the change from
"identifier" to "cite-as". I am pretty sure that developers would
appreciate knowing that the relation type will not change anymore beyond
the current change from "identifier" to "cite-as". Registration of
"cite-as" would significantly help with that regard.
