Well, there are a bit too many probably:s and generally:s in that for me
to call it clear; I find the whole thing rather vague. Eg. when is there
a real problem, and when does something count as documented so we should
implement it?

Under "API", it is fairly clear that the goal is to follow cocoa, but
under "The Future" it says that the goal is to provide a superior
development environment "regardless of the commercial forces driving any
specific API.". How is this supposed to be read?
