Hm, the wiki is supposed to be publicly editable under /ideas. I seem to
have lost that rule. Restored.

Venders use the same mechanism, actually, so you're not alone. WG members
are supposed to collect feedback and do something with it, but as you note
this isn't very structured and it doesn't scale well. For concrete issues,
we have the relevant spec editors track them. But for more hazy things like
this, we don't have a good mechanism.
