I knew it wasn't April 1 when I saw the idea, but I tried to think about if there might be some other joke I was missing. Maybe something with the word "pap" that a few people have posted various definitions of.

FWIW, I'm one of those authors who has printed works that includes discussion of various PEPs, using that acronym. Also to various RFCs, likewise. And always to ISO 8601, of course :-). I like those acronyms.

Thank you for your thoughts but i guess
this mail does not add anything new
to the thread nor does it explain what
it intends to convey.

Actually, it conveys in a very plain manner that David Mertz does not think your idea is a good one.
Please stop being so dismissive of others' comments. It does not endear you to them.

The dead increasingly dominate and strangle both the living and the
not-yet born. Vampiric capital and undead corporate persons abuse
the lives and control the thoughts of homo faber. Ideas, once born,
become abortifacients against new conceptions.
