Thanks, that email plus Roland's comments clarifies the design and it
makes sense.

I just wish there was an easier way to review incremental patches
against a design document.

My expection would be:

* Create a Projects section on the wiki.

* Create a page under Projects called "Enabling cross-rpcgen"

* From that page reference the relevant emails and constraints.

* Post the URL to the design page when posting patches.

That way I can review all the past discussion on the topic and the
general idea before reviewing the patch.

Cheers,
Carlos.
