Rejection Log

Rejected proposals and rulings, recorded per GOVERNANCE.md §5. Precedents here are binding on future proposals unless materially new evidence is presented (GOVERNANCE.md §4). Each entry: what was proposed, the rule it failed, and the correct alternative.

Date Proposal Namespace Ruling Rule failed Correct alternative
2026-07-02 CFS as a shape code ("cold-formed steel") SEC: REJECTED (Ruling R6, standard Part 3.1) D-1 — a material/manufacturing category, not a cross-section topology Informative form_class facet (FOLDED_UNIFORM_T, …) on shape-code entries
2026-07-02 PIP as a shape code ("pipe") SEC: REJECTED (standard Part 3.2) D-1 — pipe is a designation system, not a geometry class Geometry is SEC:CHS; pipe schedules map via DSG- designation records
2026-07-02 TUB as a shape code ("tube") SEC: REJECTED (standard Part 3.2) D-1 — ambiguous; no single canonical parameter schema Use SEC:RHS / SEC:SHS / SEC:CHS per actual profile

Recurring proposal patterns that inherit these precedents without a new hearing:

  • material or process categories as shape codes (the CFS precedent);
  • designation systems or catalog naming conventions as shape codes (the PIP precedent);
  • umbrella terms with no single canonical parameter schema as terminal codes (the TUB precedent; cf. SUPERCLASS status for legitimate rollups);
  • codes encoding field-grade variation — finish, edge condition, gauge, counts (standard AP-7).
