I would welcome hackers to look over this, though for the most part I
know what is possible and what isn't. We still need to find a good
format for drafting theoretical specifications that we really want,
should be part of the HIG, and can't be because of implementation
feasibility.

Now that I've learned more XSLT, I think we can use our own special
attribute tag for <remark>s that could get parsed out into a seperate
document containing changes that need to happen in libraries for a
recommendation to become a possibility, and links to their bug reports.
