Norm Walsh has brought up some issues of relevance to this discussion. Here’s his conclusion, and my reply.
If we followed his suggestion, I think we’d do a 1.0.x release with the new variables, etc., and then a 1.1 release with the changes he suggests (and maybe intext?).
We could bundle 1.1 with a formal “processing” spec or supplement, that would probably necessarily (because of time) have to start off small?
