Import proposals

[Regan Heath]

After reading the entire "Re: import concerns (was Re: Historical language  
survey)" thread and hearing all the different opinions I thought "we need  
a single place to put complete ideas" and "people should show support for  
the idea they like best"

So.. I'd like this thread to be that place. I'm going to post my own idea  
(in response to this post) and I'd like it if people to post their own  
ideas (or the ideas of others as they understand them) in complete form.  
Then I'd like people to show support for an idea that takes their fancy.

This is to give Walter an idea what ideas have community support.

If people want to discuss the ideas, I suggest we start a new thread, or a  
sub thread of this port specifically for discussion, as opposed to  
commenting in response to the ideas themselves.

This is generally just an attempt to get the discussion organised and to  
provide a reference we can refer back to at a later date. I have a  
threaded news group reader and this'll probably only look organised if you  
use one too, as opposed to the web interface. If you all think it's a  
terrible idea, I won't feel too hurt ;)
