Agreed. I'll have a proper read through it at some point and see if
there's anything I can add, but on a brief read it looks good.

One question - would it be worth having a "design principles" section
for notes about things like how we want to allow Warehouse/PyPI to
publish metadata from the distribution files, so distribution formats
should include static metadata for those values? Ultimately that sort
of thing would end up in a PEP or spec, but at the moment, it's
typically buried in ML threads and/or people's minds. The problem is
that it would be much more tentative than the other data you've
recorded, and might not fit well alongside it.
