back atch'ya!  You appear to be the major
contributor to both of these proposals, so where are you with them?

I've done everything I think I can (please let me know if I've missed
something) and am waiting for some response from the community.

What specific problems are causing hold-ups, if any?

So far as I can see, the issues are:

   *should these be subsets of geo (i.e. add an extra class to
geo, indicating which body is being referred to); or stand-alone
(I'm happy either way; using the former may produce nonsensical
results in existing parsers; this might be deemed of little
concern).

   *should there be a class to indicate the mapping convention being
used, or should the uF specify a default (as, I believe, is done
with geo)? (Of course, there could be a default unless
otherwise stated, meeting both needs).

   *lack of involvement from the relevant space scientists, not
least as addressed in discussion (and apparent rejection by this
community - or is the jury still out?) of the potential use of a
dedicated mailing list.

   *naming issues (if any remain, I think they are relatively
trivial and easily resolvable).

Do you think a straw man might be due?
