That's fine - I'm going to keep using papers, given that's the literal
use in legislature, and it makes more sense that a legislative body
is lacking papers, not lacking paper:
white pa·per noun; plural noun: White Papers;

I prefer my uncountable paper, thank you very much.

Need was inaccurate. TBH, I'm not sure how often we'd use them. But it
would be a nice touch if the system is going to last a while, which it
looks like it will. Also, how often do you say "Bring me two papers"? It's
usually pieces or sheets, but not papers. The main time you'd hear a number

Papers are already defined as plural in the rules, so probably don’t need the

Some of these probably need (or could use) count nouns. Proto:
Shards of stone
Logs of lumber
Bales of cotton
Sheets of paper
Proposal 7941, "HTML Scrubbing", by Alexis. [1] It passed [2], and was
implemented. [3]
I seem to be digging through my proposal archives a lot lately. I
haven't published them, partly because the proposals aren't in a
structured format. Would it be helpful if I published the raw archive
somewhere
*Is that so? I think I do remember that, actually.*

Technically, Asian characters are supposed to be two monospace characters wide.
In my experience, things that are monospaced by design (terminals, text
editors) do this right; things that are just set to a monospaced font, such as
browsers or email clients, don't.

Yes, you're supposed to have reports line up in monospace, for the
archives. Thing is, the Japanese characters mess up the font usually.
