2) You don't have enough information to go on to make that change,
unless you have dicussed this with Walter. Maybe he doesn't want to
recognize the old DWT as "standard" anymore, if it isn't actively
developed. Maybe neither library is "standard".

Maybe you're right. But if Walter hasn't stripped Phobos DWT of its
'standard' title, I think technically it still applies. But it might be
more practical to consider neither to be.
I don't think that it was _ever_ accepted as "the standard library".
It's more that it was a proposed standard, and it died almost
immediately after being proposed for standardisation.
I guess what's really needed is for both DWTs to be maintained in
parallel. Or maybe merge into one DWT that's versioned for the two. Who
has experience of writing dual-mode libraries like this? (SDWF is
dual-mode for D1 and D2; I'm guessing it could further be made
triple-mode for Tango as well. Even quadruple-mode once we have a Tango
for D2. Anyone fancy trying it?)
