3. Add Typographic conventions section?
See:

Pick better colors!! Yellow on green = yuck!
The CSSWG recently revamped its spec conventions based on the input of
one of our members who is a fairly skilled designer. It's undergoing
a trial run in several currently-edited specs like
<http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-values>.
I find it pretty attractive, personally. We could take the same or a
similar design for SVG specs.
I have started an experiment with Ben Schwartz to improve the legibility of specs. and we have a prototype in place:

This does not have all of Ben's input yet, but I thought I would share the progress on this proposal. Ben has done great work in the Whatwg:
