Agreed. And agreed on the analysis; I can't add examples till I know
for sure what I'm adding examples _of_. The latest edit expanded on
the details of the proposals, so it now may be possible to consider
examples, but possibly we're still bikeshedding the nature of the
proposals themselves.

Correction. We're DEFINITELY still bikeshedding etc etc, but possibly
we're still doing so to the extent that it's not worth adding examples
yet. :)
