Well, until Larry releases the spec, just about everything else is frozen, 
though we can certainly expand the PDD stuff to include the standard 
library, documentation, and QA stuff. (It seems a tad premature to be 
proposing language changes when we neither have a final language spec nor 
an implementation of that spec...) PDDs don't have to be all internal--I 
changed the name to deal with the confusion with the IETF's RFCs. (We were 
fast creeping up on the active RFC range)
