Is the proletext proposal something that would be upward-compatible
with the current F=F draft?  Or can it be made so?  The last thing
we need to do is progress the current draft, and then go look
at a subtly different scheme from proletext - you *know* that at
least one major vendor will attempt to re-use the display engine
and Get It Very Wrong if it's incompatible. ;)

I think so. But I doubt proletext would ever be just another format of
text/plain if/when it got proposed for an RFC. It would presumably be
text/proletext.
