We should move on with reviewing the defs format.

Some things that might help are:
 - posting a summary of the changes that have been proposed (there hasn't
   been much/any complaints about them, so they will probably go in).

 - making a list of the various features in the defs format, and getting
   all the language binding authors to say which parts they would actually
   be using in their binding.  Putting this info together, we will have a
   better idea of what is actually useful in the defs format (and see if
   there is any dead wood).

Other things that might be useful are:
  - integrating proposed changes into specification
  - convert spec to docbook
