Sounds good to me.

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.
