I did not see a (clear) purpose of this draft in Melinda's comment. Fernando, perhaps you can summarize: what is this draft for, who is supposed to benefit from it, and how? And what makes this draft unique (or better for its purpose) that isn't covered in a ton of FW-related literature and online?
