I take it you're referring to the fact that (in some places at
least) a proposed law is called a "bill" and when accepted
becomes an "act".
That's not quite the same thing. The "act" is the defining
document of the law, but an accepted PEP is *not* documentation.
When a PEP is accepted, the documentation is updated accordingly,
and the PEP remains as a historical artifact. What gets
implemented and documented doesn't even have to be exactly
the same as what is in the PEP.
In this regard, PEPs are actually a bit different from RFCs,
which do become defining documents. But that's even more
reason not to change their name.
