Oh, and I did forget one other thing I'd meant to say:
What, actually is the experiment?  It seems to me the experiment is to
see if this actually encourages more "running code", which means that
to have a meaningful experiment you'll need to be able to compare how
many protocol documents represent running code (for some definition of
that) *today*, and then look at the same thing again after we've been
doing this for a while.

Do you have any baseline measurements?
