Sure. But I find markdown almost as painful as PDF to work with (I prefer HTML, but if push comes to shove probably prefer a Word document over markdown), and I am not sure what will cause someone to come unglued. I prefer to have some sense that we are on common ground before providing a pull request. (I'm also not a one-eyed fan of working with github).

Plus I really seriously appreciate having the history of W3C work available in W3C archives and seriously dislike the approach of scattering it to the four winds, so putting the rationale there first is a simple matter of coherence.

Yeah, I am much happier to make proposals for spec changes (if I think they are needed). Frankly, I'm not terribly interested in messing with the metadata unless I see a concrete problem that a change will solve.

At the moment I see us

Well, the way to work together is to find consensus. If we do that any of us can write it down. If not, who wrote the "agreement" doesn't matter.

Anyway, on to deal with the things that are overdue already...
