I don't care whether it's a "bug" or an "architecture".  Is it a
problem?  yes.  I'm not arguing about that.

Now, should we discuss this problem in the official Notation
reference?  Well, that depends on whether the problem is likely to
be fixed in the next year or so.


If Keith, or Mike, or Han-Wen, tells me "yes, we have absolutely
no plans on changing this bug/architecture/problem/geography in
the next few months", then our policy states that we should
discuss this in the Notation reference.  If not, then our policy
states that we should *not* discuss this in the Notation
reference.

Then I suggest you add it to LSR, and tag it with "docs".  That's
much faster and less messy than editing files in git!
