It stands the best chance of getting implemented if you figure out a way of incremental implementation, since it sounds like you're a proponent of a "go back to the drawing board" approach to this. I've put a placeholder for "Alternative B" here: http://flaggedrevs.labs.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia:Reject_Pending_Revision Anyone else who wants to take a stab at a specification should also feel free to do so (as C, D, etc). I think it's going to be a lot easier to close this issue if we can discuss the merits of several complete competing proposals than it will be if we're just debating whether to move forward with a single proposal.
