New Features - add a futures tag #63

Closed jonathanrobie closed 6 months ago

Question: What kinds of changes do we consider in scope?

I'm inclined to say this: if making the grammar more orthogonal and less persnickety allows markup in new settings where it makes sense, I am OK with that. It's basically improving the grammar and reaping benefits. But I think we should be very reticent to add new functionality beyond that.

We said that was not in scope for our first release. And I think we should be careful to avoid scope creep.

But we also need to be prepared to add new features once we have released our first formal specification.

I have added the label "future" for marking features we will consider after the next release.
