This Pace is awful. No one disagrees that head is very-much like an
entry. But the thing is, that doesn't make it one. I don't even think
you believe it is really an entry, otherwise you wouldn't have called
it headentry. This Pace does nothing, literally nothing, in that
afterwards we'll still have a head and a bunch of entries, we'll just
be calling them by really non-sensical terminology. The conceptual
argument is completely moot.
Why not adopt it anyway then? Because the real effect of the Pace is to
arbitrarily remove our ability to differentiate the spec for an "entry"
and a "headentry", and there's no reason to.
