Provision should be made for future ports that require more than two
keywords. There's no particular reason to artificially limit this to
two at this stage.
Examples of how this lot is to be used in DEPEND= etc would be good for
clarity.
You should clarify the env map behaviour when multiple matches all
occur (first match, last match or merge?).
You should probably clarify whether the map is part of Portage itself
or in the tree. If it has to be part of Portage, explain why.
There're various English issues too where things don't scan clearly to
a native reader, but it's probably not worth fixing them at this stage.
Let me know when you reach the point where using precise language is
important and I'll make a list.
