No worries.

Since we are a overly-careful publicly-reviewed ANSI and ISO standard, some folks did not want to publish the standard until the postfix was registered, but if the registration contains a "Specification Document" that points to pre-publication public review version of our standard, they don't like that either!  dueling dependencies!

Just send another e-mail, updates aren't an issue.

Hmm. We can ask IANA to do that, and if it's not possible, to put the second one in the "related information" field. If the latter happens, do you have a preference for which goes there?

BACnet (ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 135 and ISO Standard 16484-5) is the dominant protocol for commercial, industrial, and institutional building automation and control.  The primary protocol is based on binary encoded ASN.1 data structures.  This is a RESTful JSON and XML versions of that, plus numerous web-services-only features.  Initially, we need a way to discover URI prefixes for the resources on a given BACnet/WS server.  However, this /.well-known is being requested for "ashrae", rather than just "bacnet", so that other uses by the ASHRAE engineering society can be defined in the future.
