Thanks, some good comments there.

There's just now a new version which doesn't take
into account these comments, but possibly the changes
mitigate a couple of the concerns a bit.


A lot of the "unknown" items are that way... because
they are unknown.  That is, nobody's come up with a 
versioning scheme, so it's unspecified.  I haven't heard 
the ABI issues around hardftp/softfp really have a good
answer across versions, so the spec only captures the
current state.  If there's something we can say that
captures a future direction /that we know for sure/
we could look at that.

The "versioning policy" is a good point, there may be
some architectural decisions that have looked at that
but I haven't heard it.  What would make us flip from
1.x to 2.0?  I'm sensitive to this because I've spent
years on a project (LSB) that has had some real issues
with this, for example a "Deprecation Policy" that
says you must keep a deprecated feature for two major
releases but then not defined a major-version cadence
or policy (i.e. 3.0->3.1 was a huge transition that 
shoul have been a major version bump; 3.2->4.0 was
rather a much smaller change)
