My middle name is Keith, so your suggestion fails for GDP as well. :) It was never named after me; I was just fond of "G**" after hearing about the Grand Unified Theory in physics.

Part of GWP would evaluate that kind of thing -- for example, we have an online essay about typesetting and lilypond, and LM 1.1. IMO we only need one of them. Now, maybe LM 1.2 should be a web page instead of part of the LM. That's just an example, though -- there's no point discussing it until GWP has started and people are working on it.
