Not sure if I really needed to quote all this, as this is only a draft, but
anyway, I second this proposal. Also and even with the recent DPL
delegations, which seem to have been widely accepted, I think it's a good
thing to document this with a GR.
Since Lucas has posted this, I was just to busy to read this short proposal
thoroughly, thats why I havent send this mail earlier. Josips mail today
prompted me to finally do it :)
