Also, if we go down the 'have a competition to see who can write the best PDD on subject X' path, can we replace the 'TBD' in unnumbered PDDs with a short string chosen by the author? This allows us to (hopefully) unqiuely refer to a document during disussions, but when a final winner is chosen and given a number, the offical library can still pretend the losers never existed, unless people look in the 'losers' section. EG PDD-dapm-GC rather than PDD-TDB for my attempt at garbage collection or whatever.
