It's been a while since we had the discussion about the -00 version of
this document. I've updated it, and I think -01 reflects the result
of that discussion. I've asked Ben to last call it, but, of course,
we don't have to wait for that if there's discussion on the -01
version.
What I did here was (1) remove the deprecation of the synonyms,
because we did not have consensus to do that, and (2) re-word the
replacement text and most references to "capitalized" to clarify.
I do think this is ready and useful. Y'all?
