With Jason's +1 on the setuptools issue, I've gone ahead and hit the merge
button on Thomas's PR:
https://github.com/pypa/python-packaging-user-guide/commit/34c37f0e66821127a8cbe59fa1f33dca0cf20d97

The spec is now available here
https://packaging.python.org/specifications/entry-points/, and
clarifications and corrections can be submitted as follow-up PRs (as for
other PyPA specifications).

Cheers,
Nick.
