Hi Martin, I think the new evidence is the new precedent of including classes in the RDFS that are not documented in the formal standard, where those classes are deemed not to meet the minimality requirements. Also your very reasonable assertion to be objective in the application of those rules, which was not clearly taken into account during the previous discussions, otherwise they would have been removed at the time.
