If cannot do it through OMG, maybe LSID should be moved out of OMG.
No matter what, there is one consensus that is LSID won't be
supported as is.
Consensus by whom? There are organizations that support it already,
such as TDWG, IPNI, uBio, to name a few.
I think "consensus" here means "me and the people who agree with me"
Probably because I was advocating use straight forward HTTP URI instead
of LSID, you might think my "consensus" as not use LSID at all. But I
have only stressed that LSID needs "change" not be "abandoned" in order
to make it more widely adopted. Isn't this a consensus?
In all honesty, if anyone thinks that LSID in its status quo will become
widely adopted, he or she must be living in fantasy because the history
of LSID has showed its momentum is going down not up!
