Instead of arguing in circles, can someone (or a small group) rewrite the PEP to contain a summary of the arguments for and against various forms?

I volunteer to help or do, whichever Kevin (or others) prefer. I suspect that any draft will trigger a number of small objections and clarifications. To avoid recluttering python-dev, I want to iron out as many of them as possible before the next PEP posting. Please email me if you want to see (or write) the interim versions. -jJ
