I think it might also be good to have a two-tier system.   "DIPs in
training" can be made by anyone on the wiki.  And then after some
period of discussion, editing, and perhaps an informal community vote,
*then* they can earn the official title of DIP and be moved to a
different section of the wiki for DIPs that have significant community
support.  Or at least which are agreed to surpass some minimal
editorial threshold.  I think this could help prevent DIPs from
turning into a Wiki form of the Eigenpoll.
