After reading your clarification, I am certainly confused about your
proposal, particularly of what exactly the problem is. I thought I
understood what you wanted, but now I'm sure I don't.

I rather like the proposal format of:
Problem: Need a way to do [blah].

[Approach X] works but has [disadvantage A].
[Approach Y] works but has [disadvantage B].
[Proposal] has none of [disadvantages {A, B}].

[Proposed fallback strategy] to use when [proposal] is unsupported.
[Failure] situation when [fallback strategy] is not used.
