Thanks for the background. For blink-dev's purposes, I'm less concerned
about the underlying spec process (if these seem small enough to the domain
experts, I'll mostly defer to them). But it would still be nice to have a
short "explainer" even for small changes like this; a PR or Github issue by
itself isn't well-formatted for understanding the current state, the use
case for the new feature, etc. Not sure where that would go; perhaps a gist
attached to the PR would be the easiest thing. How does something like that
sound to 402 folks?
