Wiki: special namespace for proposals?

[Jacques Carette]

Suggestion:  Why not use the namespace 'Design' rather than 'Proposal'?

Rationale: a Proposal is a proposed design, and a final implementation 
is, well, an implementation of that design.  So what the thing "is" does 
not change, but its status (proposal vs implemented) does.  And, in 
fact, there can even be a third status: obsolete.  In other words "that 
used to be the design". Those should be documented too!

What is needed is a clear signpost, right at the top, which 
differentiates what status a Design is in.
