No, no you weren't. You were told exactly what the spec is. What 
you did was take the examples of things *that are possible with 
the DIP* (not the specification), and complain that we can't add 
those to phobos and that the hypothetical examples were missing 
specification (because they are *examples* and not actual 
proposal).
