Well, gentlefolks, here it is.  My draft RFC.  It is here in three
formats, and you can choose depending on the capabilities of your
computer or bandwidth.  The .md file is a Markdown version, i.e.
GENTLY marked-up plain text.  The HTML version is plain HTML, should
display in any browser including Lynx.

There is also the fancy Google Docs version for editors, at
