Is it not possible to host the specification on a GitHub Page? That
allows us to write the entire specification in Markdown, which I

Yes, that would be great!

Does this mean my assumption of working on smaller, more focused parts
of the spec, wrong?

Sounds good!

Looking forward to seeing it, Ruben!

Agreed.
