That statement shows another weakness of the "web3" name: this spec is not
in the least exclusive to Python 3.  (Which would be a bit useless, having
two incompatible WSGI/web specs on two incompatible Python versions.)

The goal would be to first migrate to WSGI2/web3, and *then* have an easy
transition going to Python 3.

Four shall be the number of spaces thou shalt indent, and the number of thy
indenting shall be four. Eight shalt thou not indent, nor either indent thou
two, excepting that thou then proceed to four. Tabs are right out.
