I remember to have pondered whether i shall classify them as closed.
But there were reasons why this would have been deceiving. (I would have
to dig deeper in my memory to find out what particularly would have been
the problem.)

I hope to make it concise but clear by adding this to the paragraph about
overwritable media:

   The program growisofs formats by default BD-R to be pseudo-overwritable
   (POW).  xorriso will classify them as
     Media current: is unsuitable , is POW formatted
   and will refuse to write to them or to obtain multi-session information
   from them.


Have a nice day :)
