"Thread hijacking" achievement unlocked ;)

Now, now, I changed the title. If this were a proper hijack, I'd be trying to extract a ransom (like fixed AAs). ;)

On topic of such wiki page - it is kind of nice to have but lot of potential entries are controversial and need some serious discussion (for example, I'd place optional parens there as damaging mistake but reasonable people will disagree :P) before being documented. It risks being biased to preferences of view editors or turn into edit wards :) I don't know what is a good way to do this without devoting too much efforts.

I don't think it needs to be that strict. Optional parentheses are something that there are mixed opinions on, so that should be noted. It may be better to think of it as "things to reconsider in the next version"-- discuss later, once we have a lot more time with the current stuff and it's actually TIME to hash out the future.

"Not gospel" means it's okay for things like that to be in there. Heck, compare the vision for X12 with what Wayland [0] is actually shaping up to be: they're...rather different. ;) (I'm aware that being "the next X11" wasn't Kristian's goal and it was originally an experiment to be folded into X.org, but reality is weird.)
