Aha! That's exactly what I was thinking on while looking into the code. In fact,
I've started to put all kinds of comments on the wiki (including this one):

     http://projects.scipy.org/numpy/wiki/NdarrayWithNamedAxes#APIdiscussion

Don't know if it's still too early on the discussion to start writing proposals
on the wiki, but in any case, there's an starting skeleton.

Read you,
     Lluis
