Re: Making Premature Proposals. I'm exactly as guilty of this as you, and I can see both sides. I think it's reasonable to subtract honor for someone making proposals without getting them properly vetted in discussion, or making and retracting many versions in a short window. On the other hand, making something a proposal instead of a proto makes it much more likely to get vetted at all. -- nch
