I wonder whether starting off with a PEP that omits or skims over the wizard-level stuff would not actually be more use. If you already have most of that PEP, why not publish it, with a section called something like "Advanced Use" which for now is simply a "to be completed" placeholder. If the basic stuff really is that simple, I'd love to see just that for now. It would put the advanced stuff into context when it finally arrived.
