I agree.  Unfortunately, I don't think there are too many people out
there who have competing viewpoints and are willing to take the time 
to write a PEP right now.

For now, Tibs and I will do separate PEPs.  I think that working alone,
we're likely to cover different aspects of the problem.  For that 
reason, I don't want to see a draft of Tibs' PEP until I'm done (and
I probably won't show him mine either. :) )  If our drafts
are compatible, and we feel like it, we may then merge our drafts
into one PEP.  At the very least, we'll probably steal ideas from
each other's PEPs.  At the end of all that, we'll have either 1 or
2 PEPs (or more if other people are motivated)..  We can then try
to marshall acceptance and go forward with it/them.  That's my plan,
anyway..
