Is there a place where that's written up? An admittedly trivial search didn't 
locate anything that looked immediately likely.

If the mechanism requires a RFC-style document, then I guess I'm missing the 
point of the previous few days discussion on what is and isn't in a proposal, 
then. If a number of people are making the point that important pieces are 
being left out of proposed ideas, then I'd say there needs to be a step back 
and agree on what a proposal should be before being sent here.

Remember that the RFCs were originally working documents. I don't see the two 
(expression of intent and a RFC-style document) as incompatible. Aim, then 
fire. There are too few people involved in this effort as it is; I think that 
having some structure to proposals to help them be reasonably baked by the time 
it reaches public discussion is salubrious.
