Great to see your proposal formalized. I actually think we need to start adding examples of how we think the rendering should work to the wiki page, too. Only when we have a full picture will it really be possible to compare them well. I might give that a go over the next week, but if somebody wants to step forward and edit the wiki page, please do. Cheers, Silvia.
