Hi,

Changed the subject because this discussion is now moving away from any specific draft.

I'd like that to become the norm though. Having a running prototype can help enormously when writing specifications. My preference would be to move back to a base principle of running code and rough consensus, instead of only rough consensus.

Cheers,
Sander
