Folks, don't take this all to serious. Personally I believe that this
should be a "living" spec anyway, i.e. you shouldn't be afraid of
continously making minor additions, typo fixes, without making too big a
fuss about it. Publish a git repo and then everybody can follow your
changes anyway. And only announce the big changes.

This is not a super-official standardizing forum. This is just a an
agreement between a number of free software folks. There's really no
need to come up with a bureaucratic process with RC cycles and whatever
for this, really.

So, make your fixes in the git repo, update the web site and be merry.
