Since Nathaniel seems busy, I've taken the liberty of drafting a narrow PEP based on the conversations that arose from the prior discussion.
It (naturally) has my unique flavor, but builds on the work Nathaniel had put together, so I've put his name as a co-author even though he hasn't seen a word of it until now :) - all errors and mistakes are therefore mine... Current draft text in rendered form at: https://gist.github.com/rbtcollins/666c12aec869237f7cf7 I've run it past Donald and he has a number of concerns - I think we'll need to discuss them here, and possibly in another hangout, to get a path forward.
