I agree that the world should use Atom sooner than later, but think we  
should bake a few more things into the format specification before we say  
it's finished. Plus, the specification is in urgent lack of examples, a  
couple of missing chapters, etc.

What if we try to set a tentative «goal date» for the format? Then we  
freeze it, work out all the details in the text so the freezed text gets  
polished and perfect, and then we move on to the protocol one hundred  
percent?
