Spec freeze

I'm against a protocol freeze for two reasons.

1. I don't see any feature creep as of yet. Many *suggestions*, but so
far none that have been accepted.
2. There are parts of the specification that need clarification. I.e.
the "Empty META" question a short while back. I would much rather see
an engaged discussion about finding and clarifying ambiguity in the
protocol specification than suggestions of new features, honestly. I
think that's where the large gains are to be made. The community at
large seems to have agreed that the protocol is very close to final,
and feature suggestions are often met with "solve it with a different
protocol" or "use a different filetype" (in the case of gemtext
questions).

Cheers,
