So...we discussed 31 e-mails, time to try to reach a consensus? Please
keep in mind, it's too obvious to everyone but you don't have to agree
to build a consensus. We can build a consensus if all can live with

3 proposals so far:
Proposal A: Leave it undefined. If it's not caus
I thought a bit of the same thing as Tab when I saw the visual focus
