Dear Docutils developers,

I postponed the deprecations/removals that led to DeprecationErrors
downstream as suggested by Adam.

Before releasing, I would like to include 2 patches:

* Set up enhancement proposals in developer documentation.
  https://sourceforge.net/p/docutils/feature-requests/111/
  
  The idea is to expose the proposals to a wider public and catch
  feedback, so that after 0.22 (and possible fixups) we can prepare
  release 1.0 with a complete API definition and backup compatibility
  policy.
  
* Change section handling to not rely on exceptions and reparsing
  https://sourceforge.net/p/docutils/patches/213/

  This patch solves system-message duplicates
  (https://sourceforge.net/p/docutils/bugs/346/), 
  simplifies the rST parser code, and speeds up parsing (a little bit).
  It should be tested for backwards compatibility issues with Sphinx etc.,
  though.


Best regards,
Günter
