Yes. The choices, as I see them, are:
1. Do we start out conservative, and loosen things up as the cow paths
indicate (Ovid's position)?
2. Do we start out liberal, allowing anything, and formalize whatever
turns up in the cow paths (what I'm now suggesting)?
3. Or, do we go the middle road, have a relatively mild conservative
position (reserve lowercase ASCII), and tight or loosen up as the cow
paths indicate (Schwern's position)?
I get that you're against 3. I'm against 1 (no chance for cow paths at
all, in my view) but can live with 2 or 3.
Best,
David
