When documenting, please don't forget to document three things:

(1) Things as they should be ideally, i.e., in new files
(2) Things as they really will be in the future for backwards 
compatibility
(3) Things as they are currently implemented

Documenting only what is implemented at the moment would make this 
discussion useless, and documenting how we think things should be in 
the future is going to confuse people, because the quoting rules 
currently are not so.  And not documenting the backwards compatibility 
issues will confuse implementors, which need to know what needs to be 
supported.
