This is hindsight speaking. None of this was clear when IANA solicited or 
received the applications. This only explains why the applications were not 
processed. It *DOES NOT* invalidate the application submission process, nor 
does it invalidate the applications.

If you can show me documentation where these applications have been legally 
invalidated, I'd like to see it. And I mean invalidated by something from 
at least a US Federal Court, Dept. Of Commerce, NSF contract, Federal 
Register, etc.
