PMS is a work in progress its not going to cover everything that users and developers are going to be in some cases boneheaded enough to actually pull off (always have edge conditions). We're continuing to downgrade here and quite frankly the discussions seem be getting into tangents more then the actual topic at hand (you know...the fact about what the proper suffix format is), and that is up to the council to decide. If you have issues with the council, bring it up in the proper channel, as others have mentioned where its at. Now either get it back on topic, take it to private emails to discuss between yourselves, or take up the issues that relate to the council, to the councils mailing-list/members. They are actually you know...alive and willing to talk to you.
